I try to use my mileage cards thru Paypal whenever possible.

Today, I was looking at an eBay purchase and the seller only accepts money orders or Paypal payments that are NOT credit cards.

First, I would hate to have to wait the extra time for mailing someone the money order....it's an item I want shipped promptly.

So, I thought...how about this:

I go to the Post Office, use my American Express Delta Skymiles card (double miles at the P.O.). Buy a money order made to myself or my husband in the amount of my eBay purchase. Deposit *MY* money order in *MY* checking account. Then transmit the payment to the eBay seller via Paypal from my checking account funds.

I get double miles and prompt shipping for only the cost of the money order from the P.O.

Is there anything missing with my plan?

Thanks

PS: Maybe I should do this for ALL my eBay purchases and double my miles...
