Help with Western Union

I have a few questions.
Is it hard to get started using Western Union?
Is it friendly for "new people" using their service?
Are there a lot of fees?
What do you think of Western Union?
Can you give me an overview of what Western Union is all about?

I ask these questions because I have been using PayPal for a long time now, and to be honest it's no where near as safe as it used to be. I need a new way to trade safely, fast, and conveniently with not a lot of fees.

 

I don't use WU, but I know that to send you have to be 18+ but to receive there is no age limit

 

Western Union is fairly easy.

You do not have to be 18 to send, and you don't have to be 18 to pick up.

You can send money online via credit card.

Once you send, you can't get it back.

Western Union overall is the best payment method in my opinion.

 

yeap western union is easy, send money get mtcn number and give it to your seller so he can check if yoyu really sent money

 

Ok, thanks guys, this helped quite a bit =]

Is it hard to get started using Western Union? no

Are there a lot of fees? depends where u sending the money from
What do you think of Western Union? very fast, reliable, no scam
Can you give me an overview of what Western Union is all about? buyer gives mtcn to u u check in on their website to see if he did send money, go to wu branch and get ur money enjoy

 

I've used it once. Really easy to go pickup the money especially if you have a branch nearby. And its totally anti-scam . Theres no way they can chargeback or anything.

 

Just a quick question. Can you link a Debit MasterCard to a Western Union account and do they ever do verification checks?

 

@rachel dunno, try going to their website
