MO As Good As Cash?

Posted By Robert Wallace

I thought so.
I thought a Money Order was as good as cash.

I sold an item here on AstoMart and seller sent me a Money Order, Wife said to me Sometihng about waiting for the MO to clear once deposited before I shipped the product to the Buyer, I looked at here as if she was nuts, since in all my days I thought this is why one purchases a MO (Secure).

What the wife told me about the MO was confirmed by my Bank after just returning from there. It is not as good as cash, and you need the funds in your bank to cash it or you have to wait for it to clear, maybe up to 10 days (Yikes).
The purchaser of the MO can Stop payment on the MO just as one can stop it on a personal check!!

So I'll have to apologize to the wife for it was me that was wrong. She did work in a bank for 20 yrs also, so.
Maybe,
The Security of a Money Order isn't Cash In hand after all.

Thanks
Rob

Posted By Robert Wallace

Who's paranoid bud!!< Im just stating.. What I was told today and bank said it doesn't mattier if its Postal MO or another Type Mo You wait til they get there money.

FYI, The MO I received was not a Postal MO so.
And I am shipping the Scope this afternoon anyways on account of the buyers ratings and the communication I have between him and I.

Yes, Imagine the Bank handing over the money to you and then they say its a fake.. There Policy, Wait
