Default All I looked at was his transaction total, which was very high...

So I assumed he was very experienced in the business. I assumed that people that do that much business over ebay were reliable and good dealers. Unfortunately, I was incorrect.

Yep, I shoulda checked the rating before sending my check, but I guess I'm paying the price now.

Default Nope, it did.

He told me himself over email. Look:

M,
I informed you before that if paid by personal check, there are 10 days
required to process before we can ship any package
Due to our record, your item will go out on 08/04
Thank you

Today is 8/07 - still no tracking #. This is BS. I won't be surprised if he keeps putting this off for another week, until I'm allowed to report an online fraud.

Default Yea, MO sounds good but..

I'm always skeptical of something that is basically equivalent to cash. I mean, couldn't they just take the MO and run? at least with a check, you can find out what bank they cashed it at or even stop payment on that check.

Default File an online fraud report!

You can get something like $150 back from ebay!
