It's been a while, but I do recall a scam on Ebay regarding Western Union. I thought Ebay had gotten rid of that option. If it's not a payment option through Ebay you would have no recourse through Ebay if you were scammed. I'd tell them a big fat NO. It's super easy for buyers to set up a Paypal account, it's protected and accountable.

Actually, for buyers in countries that do not have Paypal, other methods of payment are allowed. If they had just signed up and were asking to use WU I'd be suspicious but since they have a good record on ebay I am retracting what I said earlier. Depending on where they are located WU might be their only option and it is actually more riskier for the buyer since they would have no recourse if you didn't send the doll or it got lost in the mail.

Diamondclaw had to use Western Union to purchase her Dollzone Ivan. He is from Dollslife in Russia and is a shop exclusive. It was a little scary, but everything went well.

This person is located in Greece. She has a lot of feedback from Mimi Woo as well, does Mimi Woo accept WU..?
