Western Union money transfers
Anyone ever received one of these for an ebay payment? Don't know how they work. Anything I should be aware/concerned of?

Sure. You show up at any Western Union agent (usually in grocery stores) with the exact amount you’re expecting, who the sender is, and your ID (license) and they’ll release the $$ to you.
Pretty simple. Just a pain to go get.

I know about the Nigeria Western Union ripoffs but I'm a seller and a buyer approached me about using Western Union.

It's pretty simple to use:
Tell him the adress of the nearest WU office to you.
Once he pays you can go there and get the money

Unless you trust the seller it is a big risk. But if someone wants to pay you western, hey it's their money so go for it.

I'm not sure but on the plus side it avoids Paypal fees.
