International money orders

Asked in my PO and they dont know what im on about. I have had 2 payments not arrive in the US in the past couple of weeks, as i send bucks airmail, can people in the UK who use them tell me where to get them, how much(percentage?) and which is the correct one for the US and CA. Also if it never arrives, how do i get my cash back to send another? thanks!

I use Western Union to pay by 'cash' - it is safe and only the real recipient can get the money. It can't go 'astray' as it does in the post - and the person receiving the WU transfer can't claim they never received it either!

I also use WU, but it is expensive for small sums. However, it's safer for sending money, no doubt, especially to areas where the Post Office are less than trustworthy (like, I am assured, the Ukraine).

Julian, Take your left hand palm down and hold it out about waist level in front of you, now take your right hand and place it palm down above your left hand. Bring your right hand down forcefully on the top of your left hand and repeat out loud...Never, never, ever send cash in the mail again! Repeat as necessary.

I used to get IMOs at Barclay's when passing through the UK. That was a while ago.

Thanks, after speaking to many US sellers(need quote for shipping ot UK cost) it seems many people dont live near post offices, one guy said his nearest was 20 miles away.

One missing payment was to a guy here who did me a favour, so i will send it again my next pay day in a couple of weeks other was for ebay seller.

BTW im having HUGe arguments with UK ebay, i send payment via postal order(no PP etc), andyway lst 3 times i sent it they said it never arrived, chat with PO they confirm ebay banked it, and actually send me fotocopes of the banked orders with ebay stamp, ebay then say yeah, infact i sent payment

6 weeks ago and they still say they nevr got it.
