To update:

CampBX has had my money order since Friday, June 5.

My account has still not been credited.

A support ticket was finally answered after 3 days by "Sonny V."  When I tried to respond, CampBX bounced the message back to me and said that email wasn't available.

I had to go through and put in ANOTHER ticket.  Sonny replied promptly saying it would be taken care of soon.

I didn't know "soon" meant Friday night through Monday morning with still no resolution.

Can someone tell me of an exchange that will take Western Union money orders up to $500 or $1000 per day, and doesn't have verification?


If you're using an Werstern Union and don't want verification then that exchange doesn't exist they can't get the money without getting your details..

Why can't people comprehend what a MONEY ORDER is?

 Huh

No... I doubt that, that would just be plain stupid... Very dangerous for the exchange.  You don't have any other means of payment processors?

CampBX has always been slow, though i haven't heard of anyboyd ever losing money/coins with them.

They reversed money back to Dwolla that was mine then closed my account without explanation.

Yes, I'm confident the USPS would be all over CampBX on my account since they're 2 days late in crediting me.
If you are a senior (over 65 y.o. or over 55 y.o, don't recall) then yes. They have special department/programs to deal with fraud against elderly.

... based on my experience MtGox was a more stable and honest exchange.

Please read my original post.

I used a money order.

A money order.

Western Union money orders here cost 75 cents at any gas station that has WU.

For $750 you'd need 2 WU MO's so it would be $1.50

If you bought a USPS money order with $750 it would be $1.65

I don't care about 15 cents, but it is cheaper and faster than the Post Office.
Thanks. I guess it pays to ask the WU agent in person. Such a low fees are nowhere to be found on the Western Union's web site.

So I guess the premium charged by the USPS goes partially to their Postal Inspectors police force that makes it easier to put pressure on the non-responsive people who accepted the money.

WU money orders cost less than USPS money orders.
Where?

I used the respective websites to estimate $750.00 send from&to California and USPS quoted me $1.65 and WU quoted $12.50 (for cash in-person service) to $75.00 (debit via mobile app). I know that WU has negotiated lower rates with some agents, so can you tell us (generally) who's giving you lower fees.

Wow. I had no idea CampBX was still going. I've heard plenty of not so great things about them.

No idea how accurate this is but it's not an inspiring read http://bittrust.org/campbxcom

Considering the potential risks involved I'd either suck it up and verify somewhere or cut a deal on Localbitcoins. If the OP is spending quite a bit they could negotiate a discount from a seller to tame the premiums.

If you have been using CampBX knowing that they have had continuing problems for the last couple years, you have no right to complain. You should give them a call -- it might help, or it might not.

I also have no sympathy for those people who were warned over and over again for months that the demise of Mt Gox was imminent, and yet still kept their money there.



Where else in the US can I send a money order (up to $1000/day) without all the verification garbage?

What good would calling do?  They don't have anyone answering the phone.


Try localbitcoins. Use the link in my signature.

I always use Western Union - no waiting in Post Office lines!
Lines at the Post Office? Where? Every one I've seen is nearly empty and it is more like lines of underemployed postal clerks standing in front of the office and trying to attract someone to come inside and mail something.

Unfortunately I know nearly nothing about Western Union besides the fact that they are by far the most expensive.
