Western Union as method of payment?
This might be a dumb question but I have never used western union before in my life. I am planning on using their service to acquire a game used item outside of the USA. I know you have options of doing it online but i prefer to do it in person at a place that offers Western Union
Can someone please explain to me the process on how it works? In other words, besides the cash, what else would I need and what do I need from the seller. Any help would be appreciated

Hopefully you trust the seller. You have no protection what so ever with western union.

Re: Western Union as method of payment?
Unless you know the person this is a bad idea. I work for a company that offers Western Union services and I have witnessed alot of people get scammed out of money one way or another. Be very very careful with sending western union to someone you do not know or have not done business with.
Hope that helps

I've never heard of a memorabilia transaction involving overseas sellers and Western Union that wasn't a scam.

Don't do it! You'll never see the item or the money again.

Is this a joke?.....seriously?
Sounds like the email scam where you're going to inherit all these real valuable jerseys from your long lost cousin in the Ukraine, but he needs a $1000.00 to ship them to you.Mike
