Which Payment Gateway to Use For GunBroker?

USPS Money Order.

Yup Thats what I always used for payment for online auctions. Never had a issue.

As said, USPS money order. Cash it first then send items.

post office money order works the best.

And note in the sale posting that the shipping will be: "..... *???* business days following confirmation of funds." Gives you time to ascertain that it is in fact, an authentic USPS MO.

Yep, USPS money order is what I use for buying and selling there. Just feels like a much safer way of completing the transaction for both parties.

Check with your local post office or wherever you plan to actually cash that money order. I realize money orders are supposed to be "as good as cash" but I have had major problems getting any of my local post offices to actually convert postal money orders to actual cash, as in spending money that I can spend or otherwise use for goods and services.

None of my local post offices have much cash on hand. Over $100? forget about it. They laughed at me.

I realize not everyone will have that problem but I don't know how things work for you in Eastern MO.

Hate to sound stupid, but how long does it take to find out if it's authentic? I didn't even know that USPS had money orders. I sell quite a bit on fleabay and have had PayPal forever - so I've never dealt with any other form of payment....

Deposited and cleared. Banks are on the fakes instantly. As with phony traveler's checks - they almost never get past the first hand-off.
