WU will never return your money, so NO NO NO.
Only if you know the person real good and trust them then WU is OK.

I got ripped off more than once but less than 3. I phone them and they basically "Too bad for you, Good bye"

Although I know little about escrow, but it is obvious that Western Union is not friendly with bitcoin. why do you choose WU?

I'm trading thru western union, is it okay? I don't know how to use escrow.
Is it okay in western union? Do you have any suggestions?

You might want to use escrow even dealing through WU because its also a reversible transaction according to theymos.

Western Union (they reportedly will sue the recipient to recover money in some cases)

id suggest grabbing a trusted escrow for anything you do for bitcoin.

Its not just trade but overall buying something.. about a good percent of deals go bad if no escrow is used.. and waiting for a scam.
