Where to cash US money order

Hi all,
Although I don't accept US money orders, I still manage to get sent them occasionally. About 6 months ago, I sent some off to an online company, which paid the money into my paypal account. The problem is I cannot remember what the website was called. I've searched on google but had no joy.
Does anyone know what site this may have been or any similar good sites, that exchange money orders?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Well I cashed about $150 worth in 6 months ago, and they were going to charge me about £3.50 I think, but when I got the paypal payment they said they waived the admin charge, so it was free.
    I've just cashed in some Euro cheques and they haven't charged me anything.

    Basically once you've registered you have to log down how many money orders you are cashing, and for how much, then it works out how much they will pay you back. You then have to print off the invoice and send it off to them with your money orders. It's quite staightforward. I think last time my paypal account was credited in about 7-10 days, if I remember rightly.
