Hi there,
I'm hoping to win a US auction, and they don't take PayPal. However they
accept payingfast.com, bidpay.com, or a money order from my bank.

I've never paid for a US item with anything other than PayPal before. What
would be the best choice? The auction will hopefully be, at the most, $30
dollars end, with $15 shipping.

Ta muchly
Rachel

Find a seller who will accept the payment method you would like to use and
buy from them.

bidpay and money order from your bank will cost you (check with them to see
how much), and have never heard of payingfast.com - their site is so silent
on fees for using the service that I suspect they charge quite a lot.

I would really give this one a VERY wide berth, personally. If you're
really determined see if they'll accept a travellers cheque (commission free
from Post Office).

BidPay is OK - I've used it many times.

They charge the buyer, of course, but the amount is not very different
to the PayPal charges which a seller who accepted PayPal would have to
factor into the price.

US sellers seem to be quite happy with it, even when they don't
specify it as a payment option.
