Not permitted on eBay
Sellers may not solicit buyers to mail cash. Sellers may not ask buyers to
send cash through instant money transfer services (non-bank, point-to-point
cash transfers) such as Western Union or Moneygram. Finally, sellers may not
request payment through online payment methods not specifically permitted in
this policy.
Breaches of this policy may result in a range of actions including:
a.. Listing cancellation
b.. Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
c.. Limits on account privileges
d.. Loss of PowerSeller status
e.. Account suspension

We know that we learn every eBay member to use services such as
PayPal, Escrow which are safer than WesternUnion Money Transfer. But is
our responsability to make every option safe and tell that this seller
is verified by our services and you can have all the trust in his
requests.
_ Payment instructions:
To submit the payment with WesternUnion Money Transfer, you have 2
options:
Pay for the transfer with cash at a local WesternUnion agent. Click
here to locate the agents in your area
http://www.westernunion.com/info/selectCountry.asp. Go to one of them
and send the payment to the verified name of the seller.
WesternUnion Money Transfer is the only service that has ultimate
authentication of the identity of the receiver of funds. Several IDs
and utility bills are required before the funds are paid. Therefore, no
one else but your seller can pick up the money. Your payments cannot be
lost in the mail, like money orders or checks.
Sellers from UK are not yet eligible for the PayPal Buyer
Protection, which
means you are not protected against fraud if you pay this seller by
PayPal.
However, WesternUnion Money Transfer is designed mainly for sending
cash to friends and family in need, so telling them you are sending
the
money to an eBay seller will prevent your money transfer to go through
and you will be unable to complete this transaction.
Because the fee to send a WesternUnion Money Transfer is high,
compared to other methods of payment, we have arranged with the seller
to compensate for half of this fee (i.e. if it costs you $100 to send
the payment, take $50 from the amount insured and send the balance).
_ Once the payment was sent, email the seller (
******************@*************) the following information:
1. 10 digit MTCN#
2. Exact sender's name on file with WesternUnion:
