Can you make a money order payment from Australia to the USA?

Question

Does the money order payment system actually exist in the states and can it be made to other countries.

Ive recently purchased a product off an american seller on ebay and they have money order as a method of payment but Ive been told by someone else that you cant make a money order payment in Australia to the US.

iS THIS RIGHT?

I live in Australia.

Answer 1

I know in the US you can go to the Post Office and purchase an international money order.  They take care of all the currency conversion stuff.  Not sure if that is offered in Australia.....

Answer 2

Ofcourse we have money orders in North America!

Since you're in Australia what you want to do is purchase your international money order in US dollars. There is nothing wrong with this method of payment. Just be sure to keep a copy of the money order for yourself.
