I would just accept the Western Union money order. You should be able
to redeem it at any Western Union office. Some buyers will assume
that a money order is a money order. You're never going to convince
him that it has to be a USPS money order. Ebay probably won't buy
that argument either.
I've both accepted and sent Western Union money orders more than
once. Why are they a source of fraud?

If you check, you'll probably find that there's a Western Union
office as close as your post office. They're in a lot of
supermarkets. You don't have to ship the goods until you have the
cash in your hands. As the seller, you're completely covered. There's
no chance of loss here.

Well it does not say USPS Money Order, it says "bank or postal money

I think USPS money orders are if the Postal Service in question has a
reciprocal agreement with the USPS. I don't think that the Australian
PO has one.

Since you don't know my current circumstances, you're in no position to

You're right, I have no idea where I got $1.50 figure from, it was stuck

Yes, but personal checks, credit cards, debit cards, check cards, and
USPS money orders are no problem over here, so there is not that much of
a need. Furthermore many of us have problems with giving strangers

First of all, not everyone's as clever as you are, and they may not know
the subtle differences between a real or forged money order. You handle a
lot of these items per year, some people may only get one or two MO's per

You don't shop around enough, I would never stand for a personal
checking account that had a monthly fee or a per check fee. There's
always a bank offering "free" checking, sometimes even free checks. If
the bank after time decides to add a fee, I'm out of there so fast they
