Bapple,

a USPS MO costs $1.20

To cash a postal money order you have to either deposit into your bank account or present your DL with matching name and address at the postal counter.

If someone accepts / cashes a USPS money order and does not ship the item, it is mail fraud. It is a felony crime. Any such crimes would be investigated by the US Postal Inspectors Service.

I always send a postal MO via certified mail, return receipt so you have that added protection with full documentation ( paper trail).

There is no recourse for mail fraud if some cashes a "Circle K" .59 cent MO and fails to send the purchased item.

I've been buying/selling hunting stuff since before i-net hunting classified forums existed. Back in the day(1990), items were bought and sold through Gun List and Shotgun News magazine that you bought at a news stand.
