Money Order vs. Credit Card Payments

For U.S. customers who are unable to use PayPal or credit card to purchase, we are happy to accept money orders (as long as they’re in USD and drawn on a U.S. bank or other financial institution).

For some buyers though, they simply prefer money order because of a misinformed notion that it is safer.

THE TRUTH IS, credit cards and PayPal offer buyers security from fraudulent sellers.  These payment methods are far superior because they are SAFER, FASTER, MORE CONVENIENT and LESS EXPENSIVE.

You can learn more about secure online shopping at PrivacyRights.org.

As you might know, eBay and other sites have stopped allowing sellers to accept money orders, or at least advertise that they accept them, because they are very risky for the buyer.

ANOTHER PRACTICAL ALTERNATIVE for safe online purchasing is getting a  Visa or MasterCard prepaid card or gift card.  You can buy these cards with cash at your local store, then use them just like ordinary credit cards for online or other transactions.
