has anyone sold any item on craigslist and receiving payment in a postal order?
I am selling my camera and this out of the state person is contacting me about it and she wants to pay by USPS order.
i haven't sold anything on craigslist and your opinions will help.
thanks!

is it just a money order?
- ldww0
do not do it.
that sounds like a scam to me.def do not send it until it clears your bank.
also be sure to insure, sig required, and track your shipment so you can proove it was delivered and where.

so it's safe? i need to give my address and fullname? i am suspicious about giving any personal information to a stranger...

no way I'd do that. Pay Pal that bitch...
Craigslist is a very simple model, that's why it's mostly local bartering.

yeah be careful and cash whatever they send before you mail the camera, and maybe use your office addy

Thanks for replying in regard the condition and as well as the asking price for the unit.
I would be happy in picking up the unit in person at my leisure time but if you are nearby ASHLAND area since i work with the King's Daughters Medical Center as a Nurse in their Wound Center Department.
If you far from there , it's advisable to make arrangement on how to get the unit shipped via my FedEx account # without you paying for any cost.
I will be sending you a postal order via my United States Postal Service (USPS) account because they offers both the seller and buyer protection.
All i need inorder to get this done is your full name and mailing addres where payment will arrive after the transaction has been sucessfully approved by the postal service.
If you wish to compromise with this payment method , kindly get back to me with all what i requested above inorder to finalize payment immediately and as well explain the process on how you will receive payment via my Post Office account.

i love how she threw in the bit about being a nurse to make you feel better about it.
i ask you thou... why would a nurse need her own fed ex account???
SCAM

Oh I forgot to add

P.S
I will be offerring you $650.00 inorder to get a suitable box and peanuts for proper packaging to prevent damages after shipment since it's a Birthday gift.
My advise for you as a seller is to remove the item off craigslist .I await your info for quick payment.

The Post office stopped doing online payments in 2004...only thing they do now is money orders:

yeah, forget that. Just reeks of scam. With craigslist your best bet is to only deal locally and with cash.
