Postal money orders are fine. Send by certified mail for safety's sake.
You can bring your stub to the post office and they will look it up to see if it was cashed.
Over 10 years and nary a problem (knock wood).
HM If a postal money order gets lost, they won't tell you if it's been cashed for 60 days. Then it takes a few more weeks to get a refund.

I wonder why so many on a site like this use paypal with their clear position of being anti gun and anti hunting.
Because for most people it's the only way to easily take payments, or give payments, on line without using a credit card which most people don't take if they're not a business. I sell puppies and I take deposits via PayPal but the remainder has to be paid in cash on delivery or by wire transfer 48 hours before we ship the puppy.

I've use both many times, Paypal is quick and convenient. Seller gets the money RIGHT now. Protection is there depends however on what and who, and the type of transaction. M.O. is great but can get lost and it has happened to me.. A non paying buyer.. Guy got the M.O. about a week later.. Got an apology but. Like most things in life one makes a choice and takes the chance.

I'm done selling here for other reasons. But......just got done here selling 17 sales worth $12k. Most I shipped before receiving payment or before payment cleared.
Didn't get burned once. Took all transactions immediately to personal email as PM's and posts seem to get lost here.
All of my buyers were complete and honest, trustworthy gentlemen.......as I was.
Some sent me a check, and some a USPS money order.
But the best and quickest payment was $4,000 from a gentlemen who deposited a cashiers check from his bank directly into my Wells Fargo account after I gave him my account number. This would work ditto for Chase or B of A. Plus it builds trust on both sides.
A cash deposit into sellers account would work even quicker and be worth its weight in gold for both parties.
Paperwork CYA trails cuz of distrust blow. And USPS snail mail these days REALLY blows. No kidding!

When I sell I offer to take PayPal Gift,but take personal checks.I have never had problems with personal checks.What ticks me off is when some one wants a USPS MO for something under $50.00.
Its all right to be white!!
