Why don't you accept Money Orders?

Offering a snail mail solution with a money order payment option seems like a sensible way to end the payment embargo that is occurring with Ceretropic. Those methods still work you know. (Also, it's waaay more private than having to divulge banking info.) As it stands, as a categorical statement, it's easier to buy weapons-grade plutonium online from the Russian mafia using blue-eyed Chinese slave girls as payment than to buy anything from @Ceretropic.

It might seem sensible as a customer, but my team is just not capable of manually processing thousands of money orders a month. What happens when USPS loses the money order? What's our bank going to do when we show up every single day with hundreds of money orders to deposit manually? How messed up is our inventory system going to be with thousands of open orders sitting there, waiting for money orders to come in the mail? How do we know to cancel old orders where the person decided to not send in the MO? Do we want a week? A month? What happens when we go out of stock on everything because thousands of orders are awaiting payment? How large of a support team do I need to build to be able to keep track of all these variables? These are all things customers do not have to worry about, but we do. We'll just get the flak when things break down.
Echeck is super easy and secure. There is no delay, and is really simple for our US customers. There is no reason to worry any more than you would worry about writing someone a physical check.
