Question

what does paying in [money order ] mean

Answer 1

It means the seller wants you to pay with a money order. They must not have a Paypal account and probably think they'd get cheated if they took personal checks.

Answer 2

That means you go to a Post Office or to a store that sells Money Orders,

You tell them that you would like to get a Money Order in the amount of $ ___

and they issue you a paper slip with the amount of money that you want to pay in.

You take that Money Order slip and send it to the seller's address.

Money Order: A money order is a payment order for a pre-specified amount of money. Because it is required that the funds be prepaid for the amount shown on it, it is a more trusted method of payment than a personal check. Merchants welcome the extra security of a pre-paid money order instead of a personal check, which can bounce.
