The issues with money orders.

I started taking money orders in 2021. I did have one buyer named Jeannie and she was always great to do business with. She bought tons of Elvis stuff, vinyl and other stuff. I still let her do money orders, but I stopped taking them from other buyers. I never have taking cashier checks or money orders from local buyers. Just cash, and sometimes I do cash app or PayPal. The reason why I don't take money orders, I will explain. This buyer started through Facebook marketplace. I had a buyer that bought some stuff like CDs and at first it was a great experience. So, I said I will take requests because he didn't have a cd shop near him after a conservation online. He said he would pay around the first week of the month. It worked out for a few months. I would buy CDs at a price and sell them to him online and ship them to him with bubble wrap. But then he kept asking for requests and didn't pay for them at the beginning of the month, one month. I kept asking for a couple weeks. He kept saying I'm working on it, then kept asking me to find some stuff. I gave him some time, bought a tiny bit more stuff and He didn't pay me after about a month, and I had like 10 CDs that I had to figure out how to sell to other buyers. I decided to move on and stop doing this business with. I moved on and decided to only do money orders with Jeannie because she became a friend. After a year and a half, I only have one cd left of the ones I bought for him, to sell to him. Since then, in 2023, I only take credit cards or PayPal online. As in if you want to buy an item. You can buy it on here if its available for sale. I don't take money orders because of the experience I had. Also, I have no control over how the buyer decides to act as time goes on with money orders and would rather not deal with that again. But feel free to ask questions and check out my shop on here.
