How do you feel about scamming me?

That way the seller does not need to wait for the check to clear and he can ship immediately.

When recently I went to cash a USPS Money Order at my bank, the teller made a call to some sort of a clearing house to see if it was genuine. She told me USPS MONEY ORDERS are now being counterfeited. BE CAREFUL.

This is only an issue if you are on the money order receiving end.

I had an old friend (a car salesman) who always said: "If you can't trust your banker, your lawyer, and a used car dealer, who can you trust" LOL

I prefer PayPal and if I am wary or do not know the seller I will not do a Friends payment but will send extra $ to cover the transaction fee. It is a small price to pay to cover a loss if the seller is not honest.
