I will not buy by prepaying with money order, unless the buyer has a lot of positive feedback. If the seller has one feedback or none, don't take the chance.
Personally, I have sold items asking for prepayment, and have been lucky enough to get buyers who will do so. This resulted in a number of positive feedbacks, which over time has given me a good rating, which I believe makes a big difference to the buyer. It certainly does for me.
I have not used Paypal, etc., but have read some negative experiences people have had, such as phony checks being accepted, or ruined equipment being returned. Hence, I would want more information on such services before using them.
COD is safer; however, you don't know what is in the box until you open it!
