I just had my first bidder pay with Bidpay. The confirmation email says I can go ahead and ship the item since the money order is approved and will be going out tomorrow. Should I wait or go ahead and ship? A little advice please!

Bidpay is great! Once you have your second confirmation from them you are set.How you do this is up to you. Myself, once I have that second email then I ship.
Some sellers like to wait till they have the m.o. in their hands before shipping, each to their own. Do whatever makes you at ease.

trai, thanks for the info. I'll wait for the second confirmation then decide. So far this customer has been great and I'd like to get her the item ASAP.

Bidpay will send you 2 emails. The first is a notice that the buyer has made an application for a money order. The second will be the approval confirmation. They will mail the money order on the first business day following the approval. I always ship upon receipt of the confirmation. The only thing they ask is that if you are requested to ship to a different address than what is shown on the confirmation, you notify them and get clearance before shipping. Not a big deal on most domestic sales, but extremely important on international transactions.
The light at the end of the tunnel will turn out to be an oncoming train.
