I have a lot of Bidpay users, and I always ship as soon as the second confirmation email arrives. I figure that if the money order does not show up, it is an issue between me and Bidpay, and not the buyer. I have never had one not show up, but I would contact Bidpay if that were the case, and not the buyer.

No, but then I don't wait until the money order arrives tomail out the merchandise. I have used their service since they started up and have never had amoney order fail to appear. I wrap the item up as soon as I receive the second confirming email from them, and ship it out the next day. The money order arrives at my house in anywhere between 3 & 7 days.

Hi, I have what appears to be a legit buyer from Hong Kong requesting his item be sent to a different HK address than will appear on the Bidpay check. The item is an exoctic lens that cannot be readily sold for cash.(little demand for the item). Bidpay requests you contact them if the mailing address is to be different from the address given on the Bidpay check. Has anyone had any experience with this different address thing? Thanks. Sy

I've had this happen several times. In every single case Bidpay authorized the alternate address in a very short period of time. If it involves delivering to a different country than what is shown, it may be a problem, or a little longer for them to investigate. This is especially true if one of the countries is a "problem" country, such as Indonesia or certain Eastern European or Baltic countries.
