Question regarding online money order services

[Ray McCooney]

Has anyone here on the board dealt with an online entity that offers a service that will transmit money from your account into a money order that can be sent to anyone? I'm selling some personal items on craigslist and I received an offer from an individual that wanted to pay with the services of this company:

I am a bit ignorant with respect to this company and this form of payment, I'm used to the traditional route of purchasing a money order at a bank, post office, etc. Has anyone had any experiences with this type of service or more specifically with this company? Everything seems in order, as the individual said that the payment will be sent just as a normal money order would and that I would not be responsible for shipping the item in question until payment has been confirmed.I just want to know if my scam suspicions are in order. Thanks.

Their website lists an area code 678 contact number. Atlanta GA.

The fees seem a little high.

Two employees???

I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

YMMV

Thank you very much gentlemen, your combined insight has pretty much affirmed my initial suspicions.
