    How long ago did you send it?

    Can't you put a stop payment on MOs?

    You CAN put a stop payment on a M.O. but there's a deductible ($25, I think). If you have the receipt with the number, you can also check to see if the m.o. has been cashed, though it doesn't tell you who cashed it. Check out www.westernunion.com for info on how to do this.

    Did you pay with an actual paper money order or did you pay with Western Union's online payment service? (Used to be Bidpay). If you paid via the online method you should be able to easily check the status of your payment.

    You need to be talking to Western Union about this.

    Weird, searched Ebay for that user name, and it can't seem to find anyone with it.

    Strange.

    Why? Unless he marked return to sender on the original envelope it was probably the PO mistake. Most people only hold auctions for 10 days before relisting them no matter who was the bidder.

    Not saying anything against you, but I've had about 5-6 bidders with great feedback in the past, great communication just say they've sent an MO as payment and nothing ever shows up.
