When I started making international payments (eBay), I thought that this
type of thing might be a problem. In the US, we have corner convince
stores like 7-11 Royal Farms, and Wawa. They all sell money orders and
all that I have tried, so far, have been international money orders.
The only difficulties that I have been involved in have been when I was
on the receiving end. In this manner, we are very fortunate in the US.
