    I would like to know this as well.

      You should not be hassled at all, not any more than you sending money to a friend via **/** or getting a cashier's check to pay that bill or buy that Ebay purchase.

      You should have no problems.

      BoL,

        I've heard people here being questioned.

          Referring to **/**, they are more concerned with their guarantee policy than what you are doing. Remember you are dealing with Wal-mart employees usually. Not saying anything against the employees, just that they are not really interested in your personal life.

          This is a copy & paste of my answer to the same question asked on another thread:

          I have been asked questions a few times, I just answer, "I do not know the guy and I understand the risks with mail fraud or any type of fraud when sending money and I accept the risk." That usually shuts them right up. I had an issue where I had to call in to fix a problem. The operator started asking questions. Like how do I know this person and what is it for, so I said the line above and he responded with, okay, so you are aware we can not guarantee this transaction since you do not know this person.

          Anyway, most of the time the Wal-Mart employees are somewhat clueless and could care less what you are doing.

          BoL,

            When I deposit with eBetsAction I use a check and send it via FedEx.. never had a problem.. they put the money in the account and it clears days later... I even have FedEx pick it up at my house sometimes. I don't like using my CC because the banks now when is gambling and they decline the transactions.. it sucks.. it used to be so easy with the cards.. but not anymore... If you don't like ** or ** send a check.. it's easy!

              BoL,

              ** is a great way to send money especially if sending $2K or less (but at least send enough to get fees covered). I have sent ** around 20+ times and never once had any questions asked. The most important thing to look for when sending ** is make sure the clerk spells the name exactly the same as you were given, and make sure it is clear that you want the money sent in US DOLLARS. I would estimate that about 25% of the time some mistake was made either with spelling or wrong currency despite filling out the forms perfectly.

              It seems recently that the names given are much more user friendly than in the past with first and second last names, etc., But always double and triple check before you sign anything as ** customer service is a nightmare.

                That is the most important part! I always print out the name given and check it carefully before leaving; like Sean said, the name, the country and the currency. He is absolutely correct that about 1 in 4 times something will be wrong. So, don't leave the counter until you have double checked the name, the country, and the currency.

                BoL,

                  Makeit77 IS A SHILL FOR EBETSACTION.COM and any book that resorts to spamming forums in this manner should be AVOIDED. In addition, he is constantly begging for SBR points from other posters.

                  Here are a few of his recent postings:

                  I play with eBetsAction.com I don't know if they take players from Costa Rica.. but they are located there so maybe... call and ask!


                  eBetsAction.com is running an early bird special.. for the month of August. 50% - 100% with a fair rollover! They called me and offered me that but contact them and see if you can get it.


                  I play at eBetsAction.com and they have a promo til Aug 31st.. 50% Cash Bonus on $500 with only 9x rollover.. that is better if you ask me. It's not a free play and the rollover is not crazy like...


                  I bet with eBetsAction.com I'm happy.. they are great.. but if you want to decide between Bodog (www.sportsbookreview.com/sbr/bodog_sportsbook/) and 5dimes go Bodog... 5dimes is HORRIBLE!


                  When I deposit with eBetsAction I use a check and send it via FedEx.. never had a problem.. they put the money in the account and it clears days later... I even have FedEx pick it up at my house...


                  I play at ebetsaction.com and they called me lat week to offer me 50% early bird special for the month of August... I am not sure if that is for everybody but a great deal for sure.. call them and...


                  I haven't received any junk mail.. just calls... Great bonus offer from ebetsaction.com... but thats all.. make sure if you open an account to tell them you DONT want any shit on sent to you!


                  ebetsaction.com - $980 last friday.. bank wire


                  I've been with ebetsaction.com for almost 3 years.. my account manager always takes care of me.. this year they offered me 50% until Aug 31st as an early bird special I think...!!.. go ahead and...
