I’m not sure what they see, but I’ve always accepted m/o. I send them an email with my address to make sure they have it correctly. That also gives them a chance to notify you if they purchased in error or something.

Bonanza should remove it once you accept the order / invoice is sent. Once you receive the m/o, you go in and mark it as paid.

The zippiness shouldn’t start counting until the order is actually marked paid.

Hello

When a customer wants to checkout; when they get on the checkout page
they will find a box for payment choice in very light blue at the bottom left of the Pay-Pal choice.
Bonz will supply the buyer with your mailing address. It will be right on the checkout page.
The listing will not be removed until you mark it as paid.

To keep your shipping time short, do not mark it as paid until you receive the M.O.

To prevent the possibility of a double purchase I would hide the listing until you can mark it as paid.

As Richard says…it will also show on your My Bonanza as “Approved, awaiting checkout” which essentially will change once you mark it as paid.

On the receiving end..insist on USPS money orders, you can take it straight to PO and cash it.

Personal Checks, I usually wait until they clear, unless I know the person (3-5 days) and other Money orders, deposit and wait until cleared since many can be counterfeit, because despite telling my buyers to send USPS money orders, some still send MO from other sources…

But it all depends on your interactions with the person and how comfortable you feel

Yes, ccmom is correct. I would insist on a usps money order. I have heard and read about a great deal of fraud with money orders. Its better with a USPS one, you can take it right to the post office and cash it. If by chance you get a different type of money order, wait till it clears and even then i would double check with my bank to make sure.
