Flaming postal orders..

Just won an item and was going to pay but the seller only takes postal orders. This is another 85p on top! That'll teach me for not reading the payment details.:mad:

    Infuriating isn't it.

    It only happened to me once. The guy had paypants listed but in the details he stated that he didn't accept it for amounts less than £5 (which is actually fair enough). So I had to use my chequebook for the first time last year!
  • Wouldn't mind sending a cheque but they specifically state postal order only! Adds another 15% onto the item cost. (including the stamp)
