How to Pay with Money Order?

Question

Alright, I know how to do a money order, but, my question pertains to different ways to pay with a money order. OK, let's say my item I'm paying for on E-Bay is like $469.00

My credit card has a limit of $300. So, could I pay like $250 of it with my credit card, and then the rest with cash? Or, do places prefer you to pay with only one type of payment?

Any information would be appreciated! And only information from those who know... not someone making a guess, etc.

Thanks in advance!

You guys are mis-understanding my question. I know how to make a money order. I have asked the seller, and they said they accept money orders, etc. Now, what I'm asking is if I were to go to a local retail store where I live to pay for the money order and stuff, can I pay for some of the money order check with my credit card, and pay some of it with cash. OK, here's a scenerio to better understand.

I walk up to the desk and say, "I'd like a money order, please. The total comes to $469.00" So, the employee there would ring it up, and I'd pay for some of it with my credit card, probably being $250.00 So, after that, I'd still need to pay $219.00 I'd have that amount of cash in my wallet. I would then give that to the employee, and my money order would be complete, and ready to send to the E-Bay seller.

OK, so, my question... would I be able to do that (what I just typed out up there)?

Please... answer that question! LoL! Sorry for the confusion!

Answer 1

the cash advance will have to be done at your bank.. for the credit card potion of your money order...

The simplest thing to do is to tell them you want a cash advance, then a money order for $XXX, and pay the teller the difference between the CC cash advance and the purchase price of the money order.....

Answer 2

I sell on ebay but not expensive things, I think you would have to ask the seller. The credit card would go thru paypal I guess and the M.O would go to the seller via snail mail so I think you would have to make arrangements with the seller.If you see an item you want, just click on "ask seller a question" and they should let you know if they will or won't ?? Hope this helps.

Answer 3

That would depend on the seller. They may ask you to get paypal for your second method of payment. I would contact the seller and see what they say first.

To my knowledge you cant purchase a money order with a credit card.

Answer 4

I used to work in retail and people used to split payment for items like this all the time. I see no reason why you couldn't pay for part of the money order with one method of payment and part with another.

Answer 5

yes, you can. However get the money order from the post
office, it is a lot cheaper than the bank charges.

Answer 6

It can be done, our post office has done that for me.
