Buyer asking if she can pay with PO?

[geordiemacminx]

Got an auction ending today, potential buyer asking if she can pay with postal order as she doesnt have paypal or credit card - is it dodgy? Anything to watch out for?

why would it be dodgy?just dont send anything before recieving and cashing po.

I dont know, just ultra paranoid after a week of stupid questions and scams... thats grand though, just thought I WOULD CHECK.

whyve you had silly questions?
i have to take time out from ebay occasionally as does my head in !
hope it all goes ok.

I did this once because I wanted the item in a hurry and didn't want to wait for a cheque to clear. I can't see how it could be dodgy.

YOu can get counterfeit PO, so dont send teh item until you have cashed it fully

Just make sure you have cashed the postal order before you send it, as there can be counterfeit (sp?) Postal Orders (post office will notice them, but you may not).

HTH
