#178354 - RE: "postal money order" - UK specific (?)
Responding to: ???'s previous message
UK readers (at least?) should note that Postal Orders over here are subject to the same clearance procedures as cheques - and can still "bounce".

Also, contrary to popular belief, a cheque is not "safe" after the 3 working days: it can still "bounce" a considerable time later - after it reaches the originating bank and is refused.

I was caught out by this on ebay once when I accepted a PO thinking that (unlike a cheque) it couldn't "bounce".

(in fact, it didn't bounce).
