I am only familiar with US Postal Money Orders, but if you used that, you will have to wait 90 days to file a claim on it at the Post Office if you filled in the name & address on it.

Otherwise, http://www1.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp is the way to go no matter how you paid (i.e. cash, check, money order).

but do you think its possible to just check online if she cashed it yet?...yes it is a US moneyorder..or no matter what i have to wit 90 days?...becuz i thought you only wait 90 days for a refund...thanks

I checked the US Post Service on-line, and I couldn't find any way of checking whether or not a money order was cashed (on-line). I'd check with a postal clerk to get these particulars. I know that it's an awful pain to have to wait the 90 days, but at least it's something.

I think it's unlikely that she didn't cash it, knowing human nature.

You're very welcome. I'm glad to help. I know how vulnerable it makes you feel to send money in the mail and to just sit and sit and wait. I hope you get your tapes soon.

Did you send the money order prioryty mail? Express? or confirmation ? If you sent it w/confirmation. which I recommend doing in the future. It would have a tracking number. Which you can see online if it was delivered to the address. confirmation only
cost .45 cents extra . Call your local post office and ask the post master what can be done. Its people like that , that makes hard for new traders to trade or sell with anyone. It just makes me sick.

I can tell you 2 people Ihave dealt with and know they will not rip you off is

I second that!

Please?! It'd make a whole lot more people secure about this board if once a trader has been proven a trading risk that their name be posted somewhere on this board to ward off newbies from getting burned.

Here's a list of great folks that I've completed transactions with, though incomplete as I'm in the middle of trading with several more:

dave w.
Nanny Fine
Jake516
D David
SKIP BARRETT
deedee
Lucy & Desi fan
Colt Johnson
Christina Porsch
Adam Naj
Bobby Allen

I think that would work & also wouldnt.

I mean people can come on here & say so & so are a good trader but then, whos to say that the person isnt lying about it.
Know what I mean.

The other boards that I post @ usually have a "Traders Forum"
So people can do a Trader Check on someone.

Newbies shouldnt get burned if they do a trader check on someone.

thats what Ive noticed on this one.
I think for the few months ive been comming here, Ive seen like 1 or 2 Trader checks on people

By "trader check" do you mean simply asking if someone has traded with a particular person? I asked about Tina Ledbetter on this board early on in February, and I got three good responses despite my bad experience with her. Besides, if a newbie gets on here and asks about a particular trader/seller, he's at the mercy of those that just happen to be on the board at the time. Not everyone frequents this board all the time, and even a good trader may go bad, and bad traders may learn their lessons if only to save their reputations.

yea, thats what I mean.
Say someone was gonna set up a trade with you, they would put in the supject line, "Trader check on Jeneric"
ask if they are any good with their VQ, Turnaround time & what not.

Granted it not always fool proof But you have to take a chance right?

like I said its not foolproof but thats just a chance that people have to take.
It is a little better than going through a trade without knowing anything.

My take ( i think that the word im looking for) on Bad traders Trying to "save their reputations" is Once a bad trader Always a bad trader.
Especially if the person has riped off more than One person.
Its kinda obvious that the dude wont change.

Thats just my thoughts on it.
I knopw that If I ever traded with anyone on here (since I am new to the board) I would do a trader check. But I guess maybe that cause Im used to doing them.

The post master told me today that they have no way of checking whether or not a US Postal Money Order has been cashed. You'll have to wait until the 90 days lapses and then file a complaint with them at that time. This service costs $7.50 (I think it was), sad to say.

Meanwhile, you need to fill out a Mail Fraud Complaint Form to stop this mail frauder from doing it again.
