To you , none. It falls back on the one who sent it. Again, call usps with the m/order # and you'll know in minutes if it's good or not. Besides, the one if they did send a counterfeit m/o for of all things a firearm. Has more than the post office to worry about. You have the ffl it's going to etc, nothing to worry about. Take their $$ and enjoy.

Yep.

If the deal seems fishy then walk away.

If the buyer seems legitimate and can put together semi-cohesive sentences in your native language and things seem on the up and up then just get the deal done. Just don’t ship the merchandise until payment has cleared.
