- Concerning US international postal money order
There is two kinds :

1) The pink ones for Japan that you have to send to the
   person yourself by mail.

   Those are like a check so you should make sure that the
   recipient's bank will be able to cash them. Also, banks
   always take a fee for this so it may not be a very good
   idee to send several of a small amount.

2) The other kind is used for all countries having an
   agreement with the US postoffice. It's a little bit
   more expensive (10 dollars ?) and take a lot of time
   (6 weeks) as it's processed by the US postoffice.
   But it's the postoffice in the other country that will
   deliver the money directly to the person. (who has to
   sign).

   The recipient won't have any fee as the post give him
   the money directly. Also it's very safe as you don't
   have to send anything yourself and it's the responsability
   of the post office to make sure they deliver the money
   or return it back.

- Concerning posting cels scans from another website :
Several people asked me if they could reuse my own
scans (and probably more did without asking) because they
don't have a scanner of their own. I don't think it's
a reason enough to start accusing people. More proof is
needed. (in the case of the Belldandy cels, not so long
ago, we did know that the people who made the scans still
had the cels so the so called seller couldn't have bought
them from him).

- Concerning staples
Many cels are fixed to their background or even to their
drawing using staples instead of tape. Often it's even
the studio that did it.
I don't like it much but as long as it's done properly I
don't consider the cel damaged myself: It's how the studio
decided to release it. Naturaly, the staples should be
above the holes and not in the middle of the cel!
