Postal Money Order versus Bank Money Order ???



Crazy question, but is there a difference between a US Postal Money Order and any other Money Order drafted from a US Bank account??? I notice some guys here very specifically note that they want a "US POSTAL MONEY ORDER ONLY!!". I thought all money orders were guaranteed funds??

I am somewhat of an infrequent seller/buyer. I typically request if I can purchase by personal check and agree to wait for my check to clear before seller ships the item. As a seller, I would MUCH prefer to wait until ANY payment type I receive has cleared before shipping the item. Is this standard proceedure? Or, is a MO assumed to be good and the items is shipped before it clears?

Just wondering,
