I need a guide for Western Union

[Marbig]

I'm going to start selling gold to very trusted members of Sythe and I want to use Western Union. But I know nothing about it at all, can someone guide me?

Like how can I withdraw online funds? I'm under 18 and I only have a bank card. I don't see anywhere on the site that says I can add a bank card or withdraw funds to a bank card. I also live in Australia.

That's the beauty of Western Union, you cannot widthdraw funds online. You have to physically go to a pickup point and get the actual cash. Eliminates all possibility of a chargeback.

You can sign up online and add a credit card to send money online, however. If you don't have a CC, your only option is to go to a western union store or point and send the physical cash.

Fee's for sending WU are substantial, you can price them online at their website, all depends on which country you're sending to.

As soon as you send the cash it's available for immediate pickup by the receiver, no matter where they are in the world. All they need to know is your name and the money control number (MTCN), which you get when you send the money and then have to tell the receiver.

And lastly, you can send/receive WU at all post offices in Australia I believe.

Thanks so much guys.

But are there any scams going around for sellers at all?

Like can they send the cash, then give you the code, then you send the gold but they end up cancelling it or something?

Also, if I get funds online, like if they pay it electronically, is there anyway I can receive it with my bank or physically?

I'm not sure on cancellation policies, just make sure you actually pick the cash up before you do the trade and you'll be fine

You cant receive the funds online, no, you have to go and pick them up.

Thanks for this. I've heard from people that have had bad experience with PayPal. I will be looking into this.
