I have not had Western Union money orders from Australia, but I have had them from many other countries. I have had no problems at all with them, the buyer sends a confirmation number, I go to my grocery store right around the corner, fill out a form and they give me cash. Very quick and easy.

Thanks very much have never run into a client who wanted to use one and we all know the old adage "better safe than sorry"!

We've had eBay customers in the USA use Western Union Money Transfers for large purchases from us (in faraway New Zealand). Very easy to accept as the NZ agent phoned and said would we like cash at out local Post Office or direct credit to our bank account. We opted for the latter and it was credited that same day.
In the USA you can pick up cash at any agency on production of photo ID and the control number.
Western Union Money Transfers are very safe for sellers as like bank transfers they can't be easily reversed. They should only be used for payments to people you know and trust.
