We know that we learn every
Craigslist member to use services such as PayPal, Escrow
which are safer than WesternUnion Money Transfer. But is
our responsability to make every
option safe and tell that this seller is verified by our
services and you can have all the trust in his requests.
Payment
instructions:
To submit the payment
with WesternUnion Money Transfer, you have 1 option:
Pay for the transfer with cash at a local WesternUnion
agent. Click here to locate the agents in your area
http://www.westernunion.com/info/selectCountry.asp.
Go to one of them and send the payment to the verified
name of the seller.
WesternUnion Money Transfer
is the only service that has ultimate authentication of
the identity of the receiver of funds. Several IDs and
utility bills are required before the funds are paid.
Therefore, no one else but your seller can pick up the
money. Your payments cannot be lost in the mail, like
money orders or checks.
However, WesternUnion Money
Transfer is designed mainly for sending
cash to friends and family in need, so telling them you
are sending the
money to an Craigslist seller will prevent your money
transfer to go through
and you will be unable to complete this transaction.
Because the fee to send a WesternUnion Money Transfer is
high,
compared to other methods of payment, we have arranged
with the seller
to compensate for half of this fee (i.e. if it costs you
$100 to send
the payment, take $50 from the amount insured and send
the balance).
Once the payment was sent, email the seller (golfpai02@aol.com) the
following information:
1. 10 digit MTCN# :
2. Exact sender's name on
file with WesternUnion :
3. Your street address on file with WesternUnion :
4. City and country where you sent the money from :
5. Amount sent :
Then wait for the
confirmation the payment was received. Within 3 business
days, you will receive the tracking number for your
merchandise.
