i believe this is true.  i purchased some photon microlites with a money
order, and i paid with my *visa/debit* card.  i said to the clerk something
like "doesn't matter if it's credit or debit" and she said something back
like "it matters to me."  

you CANNOT pay for a money order with a CREDIT card.  you CAN use a
DEBIT/ATM card.  many cards now are CREDIT/DEBIT cards, and the post office
will just use the debit option for money orders.
