Anybody had problems with payments from malaysia?

I was going to ok paypal but I am leaning towards Bidpay. I think that might be safer.

I used to list bidpay and then I thought it was renamed western union. Is it back to Bidpay??

Only accept Bidpay, western union cash transfer, or Cash (in U.S. Dollars) through the mail. NEVER take paypal from them. There are many well known scammers in Malaysia.

Dejapooh...You took the words right out of my mouth.

Mildreds...In this day and age, there is no reason to expose yourself to a probable or potential monetary loss by accepting Paypal on an international transaction unless you are dealing with a trusted repeat buyer. There are too many other ways to accept payment that are much safer.

If the amount is small then suggest well concealed US cash. Easy to get at their local Bureau de change... otherwise BidPay is good too!

If value is low, Malaysia shouldn't be a problem if PayPal payment isn't from a credit card.

If the value is high, request a Western Union money order and send registered mail.

I went to the doctor a while back and he told me that I had Malaysia.
