Hey all. Was wonder if we can have western union and moneygram cash in store option. chargeback almost impossible and receipt as proof easily to obtain. Thanks in advance. ---

As these work like cash deposit, I think WU and MG could be added in a similar way. We didn’t really consider them due to very high fees. What makes you think people would use it? ---

Thanks for prompt answer. Fees are not important. WU / MG is global so therefore anyone can buy from me bitcoins using this method. If buyer is happy to pay premium why not? if we limit ourselves to only bank transfers/deposits that will be pointless. If cash in store is used, chargeback is 0% possible. So i would vote for this to be added. ---

I see. You seem to have some experience with WU/MG. It would be great if you could help me figure this out. What is the mandatory information (text fields) to send and receive money via WU and MG? A buyer needs to be able to prove he sent the fiat money. Would it be possible in both cases to tear a paper receipt into 4 pieces and take a picture of it? I did a short google search and instantly found a WU fake receipt generator. I gues that would be a problem. What do you think? ---

With WU: For seller : [1.Name](http://1.Name) 2. surname 3. country 4. currency (sometimes country can pay in 2/3 different ones within same country) For buyer seller providing: 1.MTCN [2.Name](http://2.Name) 3.Surname 4.country 5. amount in chosen currency. Proof for sender: photo of paper receipt with custom note or even ID For receiver: Again photo of receipt with all details visible. Also: WU allows to check online if transfer is ready to be picked up/ waiting/ or picked up by receiver. So not that easy to scam. For moneygram same rule apply: Both buyer/seller must provide name surname , country, and currency. On both ends ID is needed so not that easy to scam neither. Paper receipts and online check possible. Hope that helps. I was doing a lot WU on localbitcoins and never been scammed even once. Fingers crossed of course. To be honest i think even simple feedback system would help a lot in both cases. as of now without ranking or feedback system in place there is huge chance someone might scam. ---

Wow, thanks a ton. Looking good. I’ll do some more research and will talk to Manfred about adding. Might even be in the next release. Thanks again! ---
