[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 603023, member: 5233"]I agree with checking the buyers rating. The funny thing about postal money orders is the public thinks they are safer. The truth is the opposite.

The vast majority of the public don't know how the systems work. I have been told by a number of people that a "money order is as good as cash" but it's not true.

If the MO is good then it work's perfect. The problem is when you run across a dishonest buyer. I don't think this has anything to do with eBay's policy though.
