Hello zuiks,

Since so many of you commented on receiving Western Union money order I
thgought I would share my latest experience with you. At the moment I am
mainly selling on ebay. Some of the stuff from my own collection (offered to
the list first but only a few items sold due to the currently unfortunate
Euro to Dollar ratio) Other stuff I bought from local people who offer
complete OM systems. I clearly state I only accept
A) direct money transfer to my bank account (Free within the EU when using
IBAN International Bank Account Number)
B) Paypal
c) Cash.
So at first I was a little annoyed when a buyer from Spain mailed me he used
Western Union Money Order. So I mailed him back that I would only take it
prividing he would repay me for any additional cost and that he should wait
for the payment to clear. The next day he called to tel mme the number
Westernm Union provided him with to mark this payment. I went to the local
Post office and mentioned I had received a payment from someone using
Western Union. OK, he said, please give me the number of the transaction and
show me some ID. I provided him with both and we had a little chat in which
came to mention the name of the buyer and the amount sent. I received the
money in cash instantly without any payment from my side.

As allways, YMMV, but I had a very good experiece receiving money via
Western Union.

Just my ?0.02.
