Why do so many eBay buyers want to use Money Orders?
I'm selling a bunch of stuff on eBay for the first time and so many people want to use Money Orders, it's crazy. Even though I said "Paypal only" I'm getting tons of questions asking if they could pay with a Money Order.

What's the appeal of Money Order over Paypal? I don't get it.

1. As a seller on ebay..Paypal takes a cut of the profits
Money orders you get all the cash.
But i will admit I would rather pay for an auction via paypal over money orders anyday

2. Because they may not have a PayPal account.
??

Or maybe they do, but they don't have the funds to cover the item (if they're
using PayPal funds instead of a CC.)
