Man, I don’t want to discourage a payment option, but personal experience in my business – checks and money orders are easy as having access to a laser printer, and even when they are real if they bounce the bank tends to charge the person cashing the thing a fee.

If a person can go somewhere to get a money order there is no legitimate reason they can’t get a Visa gift card. Almost every major mega store (think WalMart) sells them.

Oddly enough I’ve been searching for a prepaid card and have not seen a single one in any store that I’d expect to. I even asked my bank where to find Visa gift cards and they said they don’t exist Log in to see images!

And at my old job we used to get customers using the prepaid mastercards and they would almost always not work. I dunno if it was our computers or what but there’d always be tears when a prepaid came up.
