Question about money order
I bought something from eBay and I sent seller a money order. However, he claimes that he never got money order from me.
If I go to the post office where I bought money order and show them receipt of money order, can they see if that money order was cashed? My other questions is, if I have a receipt (which I do), do post office offer a refund?
What are my options in this case?
Thanks.

did you get the purchased item? If so the money order should have been sent registered mail. if not once it is invalidated, you can just send another one but dont be in a hurry , you have to be sure the guy doesnt get paid twice, this is a common scam used on ebay

No, I didn't get the item, he said that the item will be sent once he get's money order.
He got really good feedback (only 1 negative out of 840).
But can I check somehow if the money order has been cashed? Or if the money order was really lost, can I get refund?

Yes they keep track of all money orders with the personsname on it. that's why the Post Office is the best.
Once it is cashed it goes into the system and back to the post office.

If you are dealing with a Canadian....always send them a "PINK" USPS International MO.

^^^ That is mail fraud and the Postal laws have real teeth to them. Report it to the Postmaster.
It took several weeks for one ebay seller to "find" my money order. I think they went to the post office once a month and I missed their last trip by a few days.
That was a royal pain.

There is NO STOP PAYMENT process for money orders. Additionally, they cannot be tracked or traced within the mailstream.
To find out if a money order has been cashed, or to request a copy of the cashed money order, file a claim or file an inquiry into a (domestic or international) money order:
Take the original money order purchase receipt to a local Post Office™ location.
Fill out PS Form 6401 (Money Order Inquiry).
Pay the $3.15 fee.
You may file the claim at any time after purchasing the money order. However:
For a Domestic Money Order Inquiry it may take up to 60 days to receive information, replacement will not be made before 60 days after the date of issuance.
For an International Money Inquiry, replacement will not be made before 6 months after the date of issuance.
Note: Although the claim may be filed anytime, a photocopy of the cashed money order is only available for 2 years from the date the money order was cashed.
