I sold a low cost bag about a month ago, on eBay, set up on an auction. The winner of the auction asked if I accept money orders on the day before she bidded. While I don't really get why one would want the hassle of retaining a MO, I said it's fine as long as it's from USPS.
I finally get the payment a week later and guess what happened? In the envelope was a MO that was NOT from USPS. Obviously, I am bothered by it, especially I specifically told her what I can accept. So I contacted the buyer and told her either she can pay me with Paypal/USPS MO or can simply choose to opt out of the deal. I had no problem canceling the sale as it's not as if I'm selling for profit or need that $20.
Buyer writes back next day stating how she wants to bag but insists on yet another MO, which would be sent after she gets back her first MO. I sent it back as requested, since I got no use for it anyway.
A week passes and I get a message from the buyer. She now says she can't seem to cash the MO and wants to know if there's no way I can accept it. My gut says no so I want to say no... But I have major problem with confrontations and I don't know what to say.
