BIDPAY MONEY ORDER PROBLEM -
Sellers who receive BidPay money orders through BidPay.com
may have been sent a bad money order by Western Union's
BidPay service. It turns out that BidPay sent out thousands of
Western Union money orders with a misprinted router number
on the bottom. These money orders will be rejected by banks, as
the number is invalid. if a seller deposited such a money order,
it will be returned and the seller will get charged bank fees for
the bad money order. Allegedly, BidPay has contacted any
sellers who received these invalid money orders. If a seller is
charged by their bank for fees on these bad money orders,
BidPay will reimburse the seller, but says it is the seller's
responsibility to contact BidPay and FAX the info to them. To
reach BidPay call 1-800-350-5952.
