Why would you do this?
If I wanted something bad enough - I would just get a paypal account! I accept money orders if they refuse that.
Is blocking out potential buyers a good thing? Maybe I don't understand you niche - just asking.
Hi. I'm not zonlaee, but I'll tell you why I don't accept money orders or checks.
In my case, it's a matter of time and convenience. I sell items on eBay and prefer to get paid as soon as possible. Money orders often take up to a -week- to arrive down here! Several buyers don't want to use Paypal because they don't want to give out their bank account or credit card number. They're afraid of internet fraud, y'see. Also, it's a pain for me to cash the money orders, especially if they're from Canada. Most banks down here refuse to cash them because they're in a foreign currency, and because there's been a rash of fraudulent checks and money orders over the past year.
