Re: PayPal Foreign Funds Transfer Question
 

If they send you a paper check or money order from Canada,make sure it's in US FUNDS.
If not,your bank may charge you a $10-$40 fee to retrieve those foreign funds.

I sold some parts the other day, the buyer contacted my local UPS store and arranged to send them a money order made out to me for the price of the parts. When I took the parts to UPS they gave me the money order. Buyer paid for UPS to package and ship. I had never seen this done before. It seemed simple. Money order was deposited and appears to be good. This was inside the USA if that would make any difference.

You got balls.
Money orders can be easily made and are not instant.It takes time for them to clear or to be found fake.
I wouldn't have handed over the parts to UPS until I deposited the money order in my account and waited for it to clear.
If it's found to be bogus,you pay a bank fee too.

USPS postal money orders can be cashed on the spot at the post office. They check them while you are there.

The ONLY M.O. IMO. USPS can only be purchased with cash and are therefore guaranteed 'as cash'.
I accept them in any transaction and use them to pay as well. They are also insured and can be tracked.

Re: PayPal Foreign Funds Transfer Question
 

PayPal charged the sender a bit over $2 to send the money to me, and allegedly will cost me nothing.....we shall see. Thanks to everyone for their input.

I learned the necessity of specifying &quot;US FUNDS&quot; on a check from a Canadian bank many years ago when we had a rental property here in AZ that we rented to a Canadian tenant [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img] Another 'live and learn' lesson.

that's how the guy wanted to paid when I bought the 55 out of NC... seems like they had a 1500 limit or something strange I had to buy a pile of them to overnight down there, blew the post masters mind when I kept laying down cash and asking for another one, lol
