If I understand correctly - after not receiving payment for an ebay item you sold, and going through the procedure, you then got the late money order.  So you either have been paid twice, or you have the item and the payment. Is that right? \n\nAnd you are wondering if Western union or USPS could "get you" for casing the money order.  The answer is "No."  It isn't their problem.  If the situation is as you described, the person who sent you the money order could legitmately "get you" i.e., sue, attempt to get Ebay to do something -- but Western Union etc don't have grounds to do so.  And I suppose the guy who sent the order won't know that you eventually got it.  So feel free to pocket it, if your conscience is no problem.

The 2-3 people I've had send me paypal invoices, I had no problem with at all.  I used a hotmail or yahoo account.\n\nIf you don't feel safe with this person, you can try a bank transfer which may cost more money.\n\nBut pay pal is generally safe and able to make corrections if an error occurs.  Just don't link to any emails unless you confirm the source/address in advance.  Know exactly the person's email address it will be coming from.  And verify with paypal the transaction was done correctly. It should be safe.

a money order is a piece of paper. Western Union is an electronic money transfer.

The website is legitimate. The products are not to be trusted. Selling LV means it is a dodgy site already, as only the official site sells brand new LV products.\n\nedit: just saw the order page. they only accept western union.  DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS WEBSITE! WU is a common method of scamming people for money. the fact they do not accept other payments is bad bad bad...\n\n\nedit 2: just saw their GOLD status on alibaba.com ( http://www.alibaba.com/trade/servlet/page/static/paid_memberships/gs/gs_introduction ). Alibaba is in the top 10 most visited websites in the world, and being a gold member certainly gives the website some legitimacy. If you really want to buy from them, please do so at your own risk.

As long as you know they are secure (the 'https' in the URL).  Never click on a link from an email, go to the site directly.  I've been paying my bills online for the past year and had no problems.

Sounds like you're getting scammed. Does someone want you to wire them money?

Western Union-- send money anywhere in the world. \nBank to Bank transfers also could help.

I would be VERY leery of these people. You may not have heard so I will tell you. There is a scam going on out there where people are preyed upon to "take Payments" for a company. The problem is that the "payments" that come in are bogus checks, stolen money orders, etc. They want you to deposit those funds into YOUR bank account (so that you will get charged with fraud, etc.- instead of them) and then do a wire transfer of the funds into their bank account. Save yourself the heartache- do NOT do it. It isn't a job- it's a scam.

Some banks will allow you to wire money to other states and countries or between people. I would ask such entities as bank of America, Citibank, Washington mutual, chase, etc.\n\nBe aware that the fee may be a little more than western union but not by much. they also report to the feds any transactions larger than 9,00 which should be OK unless you are doing something illegal.
