Ebay question

[TenaciousE]

Hey everyone, I need some advice. I've only sold a few things on Ebay before and have never had any problems. Anyway, yesterday I sold an amp on Ebay. The auction winner hasn't paid yet but sent me a message today asking me if he could use a USPS money order instead of Paypal. I've only used Paypal on Ebay before. What do you think? Should I be suspicious?
Thanks!

Scam.

NO!!!!!!! DON'T DO IT!!!!!!
I've been on eBay about since it's inception. As a seller and buyer I only use PayPal. There is more than a good chance that you'll find the USPS money order is bogus and your amp will be gone.

hmm..i have never heard of a scam using a United States Postal Service money order. In the old days of eBay before paypal, those were one of the more trusted forms of payment.

Should be ok. Just don't ship the amp until you actually have the payment.
