My first purchase on Ebay led me straight into trouble because the seller would not accept credit card payments either directly or through PayPal. The only options open to someone from the UK were to send cash or a money order to the US. I was not happy about sending dollar bills in an envelope. ... Read review
Advantages: good customer service. inexpensive. Better than PayPal. Disadvantages: not available to sellers in all countries yet; no money orders.
the new bidpay is back and works well. I added it and seem to see more bids and higher sales prices. its nice to have a capable alternative to paypal. its cheaper too.
bidpay doesn't do money orders any more though. we'll miss that, but its easier and faster to just have it settle to our bank account anyway. unless you're in the super high echelon of monthly sales its cheaper than paypal. we used their customer service - the prior reviewer hammered ...

I tried twice to through BidPay to pay for an item I won on Ebay, and both times these idiots managed to place the funds on hold at my bank and then denied my order for reasons they would not disclose. All they would say was that "some information did not match up." To top it off, it took them over a day just to approve/deny the purchase. I have already filed a complaint with the U.S. government's Federal Trade Commission, and hopefully if enough ...

Advantages: Easy solution for sending money orders to the USA Disadvantages: Annoying site and inconsistant service
I frequently use a site called Furbid (Anthropomorphic, Sci-Fi and Fantasy Auctions) and while BidPay seems to present the ideal solution for sending money orders to the USA - in my experience, it's the only service filling this niche - it causes me nothing but problems.
BidPay is an online auction payment site which allows buyers to purchase money orders to pay their seller - BidPay mails off the money order for you. The advantage of this is that ... ...merely a postal address. This makes it an excellent idea for UK auction buyers to pay US sellers by money order when they don't accept PayPal. At least, that's the idea anyway.
The BidPay site is poorly designed, and the payment form doesn't function correctly to enter auction site: Other. All payments have to be verified as it will ONLY work for auction payments - and it's taken me 2 attempts to get one payment through (you need to squeeze as much ...

Advantages: can't see any Disadvantages: no consumer-protection if you pay through bidpay
it has no payer-protection at all! If you want to pay your ebay stuff, don't use bidpay because the seller can run away with your money and never deliver your auctioned item. This happened to me, and bidpay doesn't do anything against this kind of fraud except they comes back to you to collect your money anyway. Do not think this is the way of doing business. If they don't take any responsibility to protect their consumer, this kind of company shouldn't ...
