Bankers draft/Postal order to the States

larmy16

Hi

I purchased something on ebay and the terms and conditions were she did not accept paypal, but only bankersdraft/postal orders in US $. Can you send postal orders from PO in dollars, or do I need to do this through a bank?

I know there will be a charge to pay, but what is the best and quickest way of doing this? Many thanks in advance.

how much is the item worth?,

if it isnt too much, its probably worth sending dollars CASH, NOTES ONLY, WELL CONCEALLED in the post!

only do that if they have good feedback

and also, remember, that only AIRSURE provides proof of delivery, so you can make sure payment's received

The item comes to approx £21.00. When you send airsure, do you have to have a special envelope??? Sorry all these questions but never done this before. In dollars it is $39.99 so I could send $40.00 to cover it.

Does a bankers draft give you more safety? And also can you not transfer the money directly to their bank account? or is this what a bankers draft is?
TIA

Bleugh thank you. Just been to my local PO and they confirm what you say. If I go to a major PO on Monday I can buy dollars and send Airsure.

make sure you wrap the dollars in 2 or 3 sheets of A4 paper AND include your ebay info in there, make sure to put some tape around the outers of the wrapping to prevent the money slipping out if one side of the envelope is slit

basically you're looking to totally remove the outline of the money to anyone that feels the envelope,


for £21 personally if they had high feedback, i'd send normal postage and save myself the money, however, thats up to you to decide :-)

Aisrure is a normal envelope, (as you probably already know by now) they just put a sticker on it
good luck
