It's more likely you've had so many issues PP won't let you have an account anymore Making you resort to money orders.

It was me.
Okay, I thought I'd shine in since I was the seller that he contacted in regards to wanting to purchase my item with a money order. A good and true money order is as good as gold, especially with a USPS money order. However, in my experience if an item was $50 or under then I would accept postal money order. Anything over that amount I would not deal with simply because there's way too many red flags. I felt that to better protect the seller and the buyer, Paypal was the only form of payment I would accept because it has protection on both ends. As with all my items I sell, I guarantee everything 100% money back. If you got what I sent you and you didn't like it, I will take my item back and offer a full refund minus shipping cost and Paypal offers a hassle free refund so that you can get the money quicker to buy what it is that you needed. I would of made an exception if the user kcooper273 called me from his mobile phone or his home phone so that I have some way of tracing him but he rather called from work. To me that was another red flag.
I know many people sell things on here to make a buck or two, some sell really junkie equipment that are almost trash. To me, if I'm the seller and I refuse to refund the seller, it usually means I was out to sell my crap and I don't want to see it anymore. Now there are exceptions when the buyer used the item and then later finds that things aren't so new like they'd hope. I give my buyers 3 days to look things over to see if they like it or not...anything longer then that will null the guarantee policy.
Now lets see, there's like a few neutral feedbacks and a negative feedback I need to give but I'm really trying to refrain from it. The only reason why these selling and buying transactions failed was because someone was lying.

Well I can have members on here vouch for me for my crappy cell reception, I gave you my name, address and email address, if you felt the need to track me you could've pretty easily. But that's water under the bridge, I found what my little brother was looking for, and I now have a Paypal from this experience. If you think I personally lied about anything, I did not.

kcooper273, I'm sorry if you thought that my writing made have sounded like that. I just feel everyone sets their own standards of conducting business. I just sold a Phantom Plano Box in another forum and I took a money order on that one...$50 plus shipping. I'm glad that you can see the benefits of using Paypal. If I needed to refund you...it would be immediate. Aside from this topic, you do have a very good communication line. Plus I was born a Packers fan, now don't make me switch over to the purple and white loser team. It could get ugly.

I'll except USPS money orders. With the understanding I will not ship the item until I have received and cashed it first. I normally only pay with PP.

Now that you're suspended you should have plenty of time to walk to the post office. Your comment was rude

I've been scammed with PP a couple times... but never with a USPS MO. What hassle?? I can get a letter anywhere in the country in 4 days. There is no waiting for the MO to cash... the PO cashes them instantly. I take the MO along with the package to the PO... if they didn't cash it I wouldn't ship it! That simple!
Now I would only accept a USPS MO... they are a lot cheaper then most of the other ones anyway... that right there should tell you something.

Never, never send funds you cannot get back if your transaction is not completed. I sent a postal money order and the guy didn't send me the product. No recourse. Do not send funds you cannot get back.
Because I will not send money orders, USPS or other, I will not accept them either.
Trust is a luxury I do not afford.

USPS money order. Safe as mothers milk. Cash it right there when you mail the package.
