Hi - postal orders uncrossed can be cashed immediately at the post office. crossed postal orders are treated as a cheque and will take aprox 3-5 days to clear in the bank & are treated as a cheque.
i have had people asking to transfer moneies via western union when selling items before - usually a motor vehicle, they will tell you they are coming to collect the item on a certain date and then ask you for your bank details. don't think money can be transfered in to the post office for individuals. be carefull this is not a very convincing scammer - he may be genuine but in my case they never were!
