how do postal orders work exactly?
reason being is some woman from america is wanting to buy my camera, but she wants to pay via postal order, and then send it off to her daughter who lives in the uk. bearing in mind her daughters birthday is this wednesday she expects the item to be there wednesday mornin
i told her it wudnt happen as our postal service is crap and wud be there on thursday/friday time but she doesnt believe me

Take the PO's to the Post Office and cash em in. Simple as that. Obviously don't send the item before getting the cash sorted

a postal order is where she pays the post office say £100 and they give her postal payments, which you receive and you take to a post office and they exchange it for cash ,

after i told her it wudnt get there in time she said
"please, you have to help me and my husband, all we want is for your help to make our daughter happy, maybe you could send off the item early for us, with a birthday card"
i just had SCAM running thru my head at this point

tell her to gtf.......need to have postal orders in your possesion before you send..

PO's are just like cash though..they can't bounce etc as she has already paid for them..So as soon as they arrived can post off..

Still having a laugh..get her a birthday card too............

Get her to sign up to Paypal if she isnt already and pay you directly via that

Then you could send it today

Good point mav but would you know the difference between an American, English PO and a Fancy bit of paper knocked up on a PC. Even the UK ones can be faked.
