I think he can file some sort of claim with the PO. If he can document the theft, the PO should at least replace his money order.

He sent a money order so he should be ok. If he really sent money orders he will get his money back that is the whole point of useing money orders. He could also be trying to scam you sounds kind of fishy to me.

the PO tracking showed what he said happened so I cant say that he didnt send it.

You're a little bit screwed. If he doesn't have the money to send another one, it usually takes the PO 3 months or so to pay out on a money order claim. He should be covered (eventually), assuming he bought a USPS MO. If you decide to let the transaction go and relist it, GB should refund your final value fee.

Great :-/

file a claim with the PO. there should be a copy with the MO number on it. they can cancel those checks, refund the money and get the deal finished.

You mean me cancel it or him ?

the buyer of the m/order has to handle everything. the p.o lost a m/o from a deal i had going last year. seller says it never arrived p.o goes file a claim and wait 60-90 days. that wait time starts after the p.o does their lookyloo. that takes another 30 days.
final outcome i file claim 60 days later it arrives at sellers addy marked
FOUND IN BOTTOM OF LOST MAIL BIN FRANKFURT KENTUCKY. in big stamped letters across envelope.

op, let the buyer do his thing with the PO.. you can wait or you can sell to someone else (depending on how hard up for the money you may be) (tough decision)
