Hi,

I have paid for, and accepted delivery of and item.  Ebay keeps asking me to pay for this item.  Payment was sent using a bank money order. Any suggestions?

Either ask the seller to mark the item as paid in their My eBay: Sold section.

Or you can check your My eBay: Purchase History -- to the far right of your item should be a drop down menu called More Actions -- iirc, the option to mark paid should be a choice. However, it's been along time since I used anything other than paypal, so I'm not sure about this choice.

Although a money order is an allowable method of payment, the reason eBay doesn't let sellers demand them is that they offer no Buyer Protection against Item Not Received or Not As Described problems.

The usual Protection is a refund for the problem item. This is not possible with a money order.

Cash on pickup is fine, since the buyer has the chance to inspect before handing over the money.

Mostly left for other newer buyers who may not be aware of the potential problems.
