[Phono-L] Ebay payment request

[john9ten at pacbell.net]

I use western union all the time with international business. It is safe because you pick up the cash, sent in your name, before you ship anything out. It is far safer than a check or money order, and is commonly used when doing business in south america. There are several countries there that don't have paypal, by the way.

Normally I'd say avoid like the proverbial plague, but that is usually when 
people demand payment that way.
