Ebay does not have a third party payment processor through Western Union. I think eBay actually tell people NOT to send Money Orders for payments.

Looks like you've been duped by a scammer. How did you pay for the money order ? Any chance you can cancel it or has it been cashed ?
 
Better to ask questions about this BEFORE you pay for it. You wont see that money again unless like G says you can cancel the money order before they cash it.
 
sigh...but the receipt is very formal....and the sender is "Ebay,me" in my gmail inbox...
I felt strange at first, but that receipt cheated me absolutely.
 
Hard way to learn a lesson.

On their listing page it says about Paypal & protection, and Money order hs no protection.

Don't know if it will help any, but have you tried contacting Ebay? Let them know everything, and see what happens.

If you paid with an International Money Order, you can cancel them before they're cashed.

If it was paid online, can you track back via a Credit Card perhaps (if used)?
 
Now I doubt if I should go on this transaction with the real dealer. Because I contact this dealer before I bid for it (less than 10 feedback) and it might be the only way that the scam got my email address!

could u give me some advices?
 
That sux!
Unfortunately ebay have advised, in the past, to stay away from Western Union!

I would be contacting the Australian Federal Police and supply them with ALL your info, as it is a case of Fraud!

You probably will not get any money or even any information back, unless you got to cancel the CQ, but at least they can forward it on through Interpol(etc) so this scam can be followed by the appropriate authorities.

1 little piece of information can help many!
 
You have been SCAMMED!

I can produce a very nice looking EBay invoice for you but would you pay it?

ANyone can send you something that looks genuine. Only go through trusted sites.

When you talk about a different seller from the first one, who did you actually pay?
 
When you talk about a different seller from the first one, who did you actually pay?

thats what i am wondering, the original seller has a 100% record

from what i understand, some Joe Schmo has contacted him claiming to be the seller and giving details. so the original seller who actually has the card has nothing to do with it
 
thx all, the real seller still waiting for my payment, and I would pay in one week.
It was sad to accept that, and when u check the Google, a lot of more sad stories similar to mine....
