Lots of places sell money orders, the USPS is the last place I want to go, insisting on a USPS money order is strange.
I get those who don't like Paypal, someone here was royally screwed by them. I use them friends to friends even if there is no recourse with a bad deal, it's fast and convenient.
I'd be curious to hear the story of someone "royally screwed by" PayPal?
I won't go into a lot of detail, but I looked at some supposed N95 masks on-line early on during the covid BS. In order to try and understand what the package deal was, I put stuff in my cart. I NEVER clicked on a "pay now" button or any such thing. I thought it was pretty confusing so I backed out and went through it again to see WTF they were offering. Again, I NEVER submitted any agreement to purchase. Next thing I knew, I was getting billed for a bunch of
shit I never agreed to buy. Paypal would not do a damned thing about it, nor would Citi. F
uck them and the horse they rode in on.
