RE: Got SCREWED, any ideas?
I have been selling on the internet full time for over 8 years now. I accept paypal or money orders. Some people do not have, or do not like, paypal. That leaves them the option of a money order. This does not make an internet seller "shady".
And, yes, the post office does lose mail now and then. Also, senders sometimes write the wrong address, or an illegible address on the envelope. It does not happen often, but periodically I have people saying they sent a money order that I never receive.
Just trace the money order and it if was not cashed, USPS will refund you. It is a hassle, but one of the possible prices for not using a CC or paypal.

I also sell Harley parts on occasion. Money Orders or personal check(with clearance time allowed) Is the only way I take payment and I've never ripped anybody off. I don't like the idea of paypal having to be linked to my checking account.

Jeff (even if I do take money orders)

Probably get more sales that way. I don't buy anything on Ebay unless I can use Paypal.

I got scammed a couple of years back by a guy from washington to the tune of $800, I sent two usps money orders with signature required with Id I was told. The mail carrier gave the money orders to a totaly different guythat hadsigned for them with no Id required, Spent 6 months arguing with the post office and got no where, I called the police department in DC to file a complaint, I knew I wasn't going to get my money back but I thought atleast I could possible get him in trouble if he was ever to get picked up as i was told any thing over $500 was a felony. The police officerI talked to said "Sir we have people scamming people out of hundreds of thousands of dollars everyday we don't have time to mess with this"!!! I said" So sorry to have bothered you!! My loss, OUCH!!!! I hope you have better luck than I, Just my .02, T
