I've sold quite a bit on eBay now, i'm a powerseller and top rated seller etc but i've only ever been paid through PayPal or cash on collection. All my listing state I will only accept PayPal or cash. Anyway i've been selling a ZX Spectrum with printer on there for the past week. I had a message from a buyer asking:
"Hi there - would it be possible to make the payment with a postal order for my greatgrandson who is 14years old - Kindest Regards Rose"
I didn't read the message until after the auction ended, and this person ended up being the winning bidder at £99.99. I've never received a postal order so unsure if they are safe or not.
Also the person only has 2 feedback. The feedback that has been left for them is from 2 sellers who are no longer registered, these 2 sellers only have 1 feedback and 3 feedback themselves. And what's weird those 2 sellers have feedback from each other too...
I'm pretty sure I should stay away, but has anyone used postal orders before and are they safe?
