Fake money orders are easy to catch just look for the watermarks and micro print if it ain't there it's a fake. No scammer can fake micro print.
Plus there is no
IF any more paypal is the only method so alot of those items that where selling higher cause they had paypal payment are no longer selling as high.
Also your wrong paypal is by far the easiest way to loose out on big money or even smaller amounts, yeah they say buyer/seller protection but it don't mean crap and in the tiny tiny writing describing the buyer protection they make sure to state that there is no guarantee that they will retrieve your money.
all you have to do to scam some one on ebay using paypal create a new account add a credit card and all that goodness then buy something wait a month or 2 after you get it then call your credit card company tell them you never got the item and they will file a
chargeback that automatically puts the money back on your credit card.
The chargeback takes the money from paypal and paypal doesn't want to be screwed so they reverse the entire payment, and in the end some ass whole just got a nice new transmission and your out 2500.00.
That is why I use paypal for small things and never for bigger dollar items now days.
Just do some ligh digging into paypal horror stories and see waht you find.
