    Default Sent money order, but no product received

    I'm a little unfamiliar with this site.. great resource. i tried to search for something like this, so if anyone could answer or refer me to another thread that would be great.

    Here's what happened:

    1. I asked a question about a computer on ebay from a buyer
    2. When the auction ended he asked if i wanted to purchase the item outside of the auction. I know now that this is against ebay policy, but the person assured me it was not.
    3. We settled on a price and I sent a cashiers check from my bank.
    4. He started not responding quickly to emails
    5. a week later said the computer "broke" and he had sent the check back to us.
    6. 9 days later have not seen the check and he will not return emails
    7. He is in Toronto we are in the Pittsburgh area.

    I guess i want some advice in advance- if this guy simply tries to cash the check and claim it was not him who cashed it, what can we do? what are the options for pursuing this as we are in the us and he is in ca?

    thanks so much, any help would start to ease my mind.

    Default Paid for eBay Fraud

    Have you stopped payment on the check? Even with a cashier's check, if you have the receipt, you should be able to stop payment.

    You can also report the abusive conduct to eBay.

    If you do nothing, you can be pretty sure that the guy is going to take your money and laugh at you from afar.
