Lorelei Web Shopping Diary

When we shop on eBay, normally there are a few options for payment — Credit Card, PayPal and money orders. Money orders would normally be Western Union. I did it one time out of nessecity, and will only do it again if the seller can’t accept paypal, because…

In my case, I bought a book that costed $40.  Delivery was about 15 bucks, so it it came down to 55  dollars, rather bearable. Now, I want to send the money via Western Union, but they also take fee for operation — 13$ was in my case. This way, your item comes down to a bigger price, and imagine if it was something smaller, delivery and WU’s fees would have been bigger than the item itself. You should take it into account because while Credit Card and PayPal take a cut of maximum $4, money orders will only start at 13 dollars!
