That is great if you are the SELLER... It sucks if you are the BUYER... The buyer sends a postal money order to the seller, the seller, hopefully is legit and is who he says he is and lives where he says he lives, if not the BUYER is just, sol. I know you can file a claim with the postal service but I hope you are young. With paypal and a credit card your recourse is pretty dam quick and you don't lose you cash. JMHO Once the MO is mailed so is your money.
