So i bid on a piece of power a while back and now got a second chance offer (for an amazing price). The seller only takes "moneybooks" as opposed to paypal. I was just wondering if anyone has had experience using this form of payment, and if it is safe to go through with?
Any help is appreciated
thanks alot!

Hmmm how much seller feedback does he have? Usually something that is too good to be true is a rip off.

Nope. Don't do it. Definite scam.

I got the same "second chance" offered by the seller when I bid on 4x Metalworker, a while back. I hastily accepted, without checking seller's reputation and other things. The next day, the item was marked as "shipped". It was an international shipment, and knowing our Customs are crazy, I waited more time than usual for the it's delivery. That didn't work well for me, because I couldn't ask for my money back from PayPal anymore, and the seller got a lot of negative feedback from others customers, and his account was suspended.
tl;dr: I paid about US$ 60,00 for my dumbness on a situation similar to the OP.

Scam, pass.  Anything non-Paypal is a bad idea.
