Depends on how it's done - electronic money order may only need the 
target organisation.  You may be able to use a routing number for the 
bank (which is public info anyway) and the account holder's name.  You'll 
need your bank's info, of course, but that's also easily obtained.

Yeah, I don't know that I'd do that either - if someone happens to find 
the URL and reads it who isn't who you intended, the info is then out in 
the wild.
