From what I am told, within the United States, the Seller above has
committed Postal Fraud, a Federal offense. COD also makes it difficult for
the buyer to take advantage by giving a bad check. The Post Office makes
the buyer fill out a number of forms to pay by check, rather than cash, and
the buyer's check is written to the Postal Service, not the seller. The
seller is then issued a check from the Post Office.
