Default Bidpay

Has anyone ever used bidpay. I wanna purchase this gift for this chick but i cant use paypal since my account is in a negative status since they have all my monies on hold due to a stupid buyer. So i have to go an alternate route. I wanna get this before christmas...i noticed it mentioned something about sending a money order if its overseas...and i am ordering something from asia. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do they not recommend using them if the transaction is overseas? My wife sold a PS2 to a guy in Africa (red flag right there) paying with BidPay and never got paid. Bidpay can't back you up like PayPal does and get you your money.

1. Africa
2. don't send till payment is rec.
3. I bet his auction came from a Chinese eBay seller with + feedback. Not a big deal.

I think BidPay was supposed to send us the money when the person recieved the item. Sort of like escrow? I don't know all the details. The PS2 was on eBay and the guy made an offer to stop the auction. I wouldn't have done it, and I warned my wife not to, but you know how that goes...
