Postal money orders are OK BUT there are no guarantees that you will get your
item
if you sell on a newsgroup. Been there done that. Got burned for $140. I have
a friend who is a postal inspector
and says for a few hundred dollars it's not worth their time to prosecute. A
postal money sounds like it's the best because of the protection.Well, that's
wrong. Unless it is a LARGE amount.
Paypal is wonderful. NO WAY can a payment be stopped after it is sent. UNLESS,
If he sent an e-check to the PAYPAL account and she shipped before it was
cleared, He could cancel it before it was cleared. You are supposed to wait
until it clears before shipping! I myself once paid someone via paypal and
made a mistake
with the amount, by a LARGE amount. I called paypal and they said there is
nothing they can do at this point.
The return must come from guy who received the money from me. I e-mailed that
guy and he sent
me the difference via paypal the same day.
Just my .02 cents with experience in postal money orders and Paypal.
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!

You can't blame E-Bay - least not
entirely, though the system could be made a bit better. But then again,
it's
no worse there,
When I sell something on eBay it is USPS money order only. Upon receipt
take
it to the USPS, cash it and once I have the money in my hand I ship the
item
with a delivery confirmation to the buyer.
