Location: Madison, Wisconsin | I've been trying to sell a bass guitar for a friend on Ebay with little success. I got an email from a guy in LA tonight that offered to buy it using a postal money order. Does anyone see a problem with this? |

Location: Fayetteville, NC | A Postal Money Order should be able to be cashed by your Bank. Once upon a time,The Post Office used to cash them for you as long as they issued them. should'nt be a problem. If you're concerned though, when his paymenyt arrives simply cash it before you ship out the Bass! |

Location: Lafayette, Louisiana | A Postal money order is a great way to go. I have used a Postal money order for everything I have ever gotten on ebay. You just go to the post office and cash them there. |

you have to worry when they offer you a check for 4K and you need to return 3900 to them in CASH |

Location: Florida | Postal MO's are good as gold, to the point that at one time they were preferred by drug dealers! US Customs found magazines sent out of the country (SA) and in those magazines the pages were interlaced with USPO MO's. They changed the rule about how periodicals are shipped out of the country because of that, but the MO's are still good as gold. |

Location: Madison, Wisconsin | I just can't think of any way this could be a scam but I don't have a criminal mind so scams don't come easy to me. Moody, you reading?
Thanks for the input. |

just ask whatever you need to know. If there is a way to screw someone, it has been tried on me. Not always successfully but it has been tried. |
