I always said only USPS money orders on my own auctions because a lot of places don't cash certain money orders and since I'd be going to the post office anyway, a USPS one works best. And, it's a bit safer I think because they check to make sure it's really real before cashing it. Get this, someone sent me a money order from a Safeway grocery store and when I went to a Safeway to cash it, I found out that Safeway doesn't even cash their own money orders! It's that sort of lameness you avoid with USPS money orders.
I always say that all monies must clear before I ship anything, that's only fair. But, that 6-8 week thing looks a lot like punishment. I think it's also unreasonable as far as ebay rules go, right? Ebay seemed to think so I guess. :-) That is, until next time. :-(
