About six months back, someone [1] queried the people at Bidpay on this matter.
I think the outcome was positive in that any money order requests for
BrickLink would be honored [2]. Perhaps the recipient needs to be registered
as a seller with Bidpay. I also seem to recall that response included the
words "we will try it" meaning they may not honor such requests any more.
My memory is a bit cloudy on this, so I cannot guarantee I have my story
straight exactly.
Tom, your best bet would be to contact Bidpay yourself to find out. Reporting
back here for the benefit of all would be appreciated.
