| Wire transfer vs. money order (overnight) Which is the best way to send payment, wire transfer into an account or money order (overnight)? My friend is purchasing a shih tzu out of state and was wondering what to do. Pam |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Neither ..use Paypal. Both of those you can't get the money back. If you use your credit card and sign up for paypal it gives you double protection. Credit cards give the charge back and fraude and so does paypal. I would never send a wire transfer or western union.

♥My Lil' Monkey Girl♥ Donating Member | Caution I would be very cautious with this unless you have pup in hand or have seen the pup in person i do not recommend any type of payment and would look elsewhere as most of these turn out to be FRAUD a SCAM however you want to word it. I personally would not pay for anything unless i saw it with my own eyes... and not by picture. But do what you wish and best of luck

| I would be hesitant to deal with anyone that wants a wire transfer since thats how most scammers want payment. I dont know though Ive never purchased a dog out of state because its so risky. I will be interested in seeing the other responses

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | I have purchased from out of state and never ever paid by wire transfer. It gives you no protection at all. Credit Cards are very good for charge backs.

| I contacted paypal about a charge for something that I bought from a website and how I did not receive the product and they told me that they only protect against Ebay purchases, not other purchases on the internet..hmmm... Now I am confused because I was out $55.00... |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | If you use Paypal and Discover then Discover will cover the fraud if any I'm sure other credit cards do to.

| Be careful doing that. You may not get your money back if she falls victim to fraud.

| I would look into different credit card options and see if you're insured if you don't get the pup.

| I vote for using paypal. Sometime you may have to pay around 3% more to cover their fees, but that's WAY cheaper than a Money Order.
