alternatives to paypal

USPS money orders were mentioned earlier...they are a safe means of transferring payments up to $1k USD, if you don't mind the hassle + extended time for your transaction to take place. Again, there is no protection for the transaction of goods, only the fund transfer is secure. Int'l money orders are limited to $700 USD.

Fees are based on the money order dollar amount:
$0.01 to $500.00 - $1.65
$500.01 to $1,000.00 - $2.20
Postal Military Money Orders (issued by military facilities) - $0.55
