What do I do with a money order?!

I have been sent a money order from the States for $6 (an ebay transaction gone wrong!). My bank laughed and told me it would cost £8 to exchange it. It seems a waste not to do something with it - so any bright ideas? Nothing too rude please as I am of a delicate dispostition!!

    Origami?

    Seriously though, can the 'Name payable' be changed so you can pay for something else with it, or is it like a cheque?
    I'm so sexy it's a wonder my underpants don't explode.
  • This is not a problem at all. I cash all my money orders at http://www.auctionpix.co.uk

    Cheaper than the bank and clears faster. I am not affiliated with them.

    Cheers, S.

    Thanks Sammy - that's £2 more than I thought I was going to get!
