Can someone answer some Western Union questions?

[kokomo]

I bought 2 watches from Andrew using a credit card which seemed to go fine and he's been great with QC pics and getting these in the mail.

Now I would like to take advantage of the October deal at trustytime but I'm wanting to try Western Union to try & save a bit since I was planning to get a few watches.

I went to WU website (US) and it seems like you just fill in how much you want to pay along w/ the details of the other party. I have some questions:

1. I haven't placed the order with Andrew yet using WU; I am guessing he will send me what info I need?
2. If I'm able to buy at a discount vs credit cards with Andrew, where does Western Union make money? Do they charge you to send money?
3. Can anyone give me the newbie overview of using WU process so I can feel better about trying it and any pros and cons? I feel like there's got to be a hidden fee here somewhere but I can't quite grasp the full concept yet.
4. Downsides to WU? Can you do it all online?

Thank you!

Hi my friend

Western Union works differently depending on where you are from.
If you are based in USA, you can get online and probably even able to use bank transfer or credit cards to pay the funds via Western Union.

We will send you the information for you to send the funds to.
Western Union do charge fees (But usually it is a lot cheaper than bank wire transfer SWIFT)
The only issue with Western Union is people get scammed by this method of payment but in RWI Forums, the Trusted Dealers are all verified OK (including me of course)

If there is any issues, please feel free to PM or Email me.

Thank you.
