[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 2098663, member: 71234"][I]I used to accept postal m/o's but no more, they are being counterfeited. And I NEVER accept Western Union.[/I] Cashing the MO at the post office (for Postal Money Orders) would eliminate the forgery problem for this type (and who is going to forge a PMO for maybe $50 or so) and the fear of Western Union is misplaced. Sending money to a stranger by Western Union cash transfer is as unsafe as it gets, but receiving money by WU cash transfer, or by WU money order is as safe as anything. Many people seem to have a fear of WU because of this confusion. It's like mixing up the wicked witch of the north with your grandmother because they are both old women. In earlier days on ebay I accepted many hundreds of PMOs from US buyers with never a problem, and all mine had to pass through the international banking system rather than being cashable locally.[/QUOTE]
