[Groop]Magnet Central, & the $2 hold-up

[Vaughn Seward]

Hmmm....I have completed over 250 eBay transactions where I
bought items from US sellers with US international money orders (I'm from
Canada)...and many transaction are less than $5 US. I have never been
asked for an extra $2 and no one has ever complained to me that their
bank hi-jacked $2 on the transaction. I can see them having problems with
personal cheques drawn on non-US banks but bona-fide international money
orders should not cause any problems. 

If your bank tries to hold you up for $2 perhaps check with another
bank.   :-) 

P.S. Azamin...I wouldn't recommend sending cash.
