Buying/selling advice re: money orders

[Foxtrot Sierra]

Okay fellow OTDers... I've never been involved in a transaction with money orders. If you were selling something and someone offered to pay with one, what's the best way to go about doing it? What kind of M.O. (USPS, etc.)? I'm planning on waiting for whatever money to clear before I ship, so I don't even know the process as far as how a money order gets paid out. I don't bank locally, so that may be a issue as well.

Thanks in advance for the advice. Hope all had a safe 4th!

Postal Money order is the only one I would accept. Post Office will cash it for you.

I have always used USPS. It's federal (sortta) National, and a Felony to @&%* with...

the post office will cash it IF they have that amount available which will be doubtful.

USPS Only. No others accepted or used. USPS will cash them. They are the only money order issuer that will.
