do you use western union?

im about to make a purchase and seller wants me to pay western union.i have never paid that way..Is it safe?i perfer escrow with a transaction this big

 

Western Union is quite safe and quick. I have used it quite a lot of times and never had any problem with it. Though fees are a bit high but you get money in only few minutes. No need to worry about it. There site might help you. If you are from USA (your location tells you are) then you can directly pay on their website using your credit card and you will not have to go to their office.

Hope this helps.

 

I used Western Union just to receive money, and it's great. The fees are a bit high, but is a good service.

 

Western union is the fastest way of sending and receiving money.

 

There is no chargeback option in WU.

 

Right, but you get the address, phone number and ID card info of the person you are sending WU to. So this is a bit safer than other online payment processors

 

Eh, I would not rely on that. Having someone's details is good for a transaction to be called "safer". Living in the same country with the seller would help, too
Otherwise you might end up wasting time on chasing people that are at the other end of the world..

 

I agree but at least for me it is quite safer than other payment processors and I really can rely on it

 

I bet you can rely on it as a Receiver. I can, too
As a sender, I would not be too happy to send bigger amounts of money via WU knowing that I can't get it back if our deal goes wrong at some point..

 

If the money are not picked up by the Receiver the funds return to sender. So, if you know to whom you're sending and you are sure about the transaction, there's no problem there. Unless you're referring to something else...

 

If you're dealing with a scammer, rest assured he will pick your money in time

 

Well, here is what they say on their website:

 

westerunion is safe when u send him the money he will receive it but he cant get them untill u give him the password when u send the money they will give u a password to give it for the receipent

 

yes I use western union for receiving money from the client from singapore. Its quick and safe.

 

Western Union is the best way to recieve money, the best thing about it that it's cash.

 

I have used Western Union number of times. Just be careful with your MTCN number, dont ever tell it to anyone else.

 

I use western union to receive the payment from my US client. Its really safe and very fast transaction, within a minute. But don't forget to collect the MTCN number from the sender. MTCN is a 10 digit secret code. This code will required at the time of withdraw the money.

Thanks
