There are many sellers on ebay that will accept money orders. Of course they will usually not send out your item until they receive the money order and it clears. This will delay you getting your rations by a week probably. There is a big money order scam going on all over the internet currently, this is scaring a lot of people. I sell things on Amazon.com all the time and I am constantly getting con artists saying that they want to buy the item with a money order and they go on about how they will be paying more than the item is worth and want me to send them the extra money back, etc, etc, etc. The email is laughable. Next time I get one I will post it here.

As far as not trusting online financial transactions, I really don't understand that. Of course, you are entitled to have the right to, but I can tell you that I pay all of my bills online and I use my credit card all over the internet to make purchases and have never had a problem. If you do run into someone stealing your credit card number, this can happen at a restaurant easily, by writing down your number when you pay for a meal by the way, all you do is contact your creditor and alert them of an illegal or unauthorized charge, they send you an affadavit to fill out and you get your money back. This has happened to me twice and I speak from experience after having my credit card stolen from a locker in the gym I worked out a few years back. The thief spent over $300 on my card, I called the creditor, they mailed me the affadavit, I sent it back and within a few days I was credited all of my money back. The second time apparently a clerk at the movie theater wrote down my credit card number and used it to buy two tickets to a movie on me. I saw the charge on my banking statement and called the theater about it. Odd thing and reason I knew it was not me is that the movie was on a Monday night, I never go to movies on Monday night and there were two tickets purchased...I am single and always buy only one ticket. Again, I received an affadavit in the mail, my account was credited, case closed. The only inconvenience is that is just takes a bit of time to get your money back, but in the end you will always get your money back. Unfortunately we all pay for this in the end by increased prices, etc. BUT YOU ARE PROTECTED...there is no reason to fear, but then again you are entitled to your own fears or worries and to your own level of security.

actually
I trust the internet
I dont trust my computer, nor do I trust any other computer, to be free of spyware, nor do I trust my visa to easily deal with me when I say "this was not me" nor do I trust the other companies that someone who steals my identiy will get loans from to listen to me.

its odd, he could probably get loans easier then I could.

Sounds like you have a "trust" issue bro. Well, we all have issues, "trust" me, or if you can, I have plenty... :lol:
