Better yet, see if there is a member on here that lives in his city. If so, ship the money order to the member and have them hand deliver the MO in exchange for the part. If they are willing...

Don't do it at all man, I bet if you check the items he's bought and sold they are like used shoes or something. For CHEAP.
If I were you I'd email him and tell him you want to pay Via Paypal and that you will add the paypal fees.

if it's in the Philadelphia region... (or south jersey) I am willing to drive out and pick it up for you.
I recently got screwed out of some money on eBay doing that. Supposedly the item was shipped, but he "failed to get a tracking number" I thought he was pretty good too.. until I started looking hard at his feedback. He had a couple of negatives, but nothing in over six months. I found that in all the cases where he had previously been given a negative for not delivering something as promised.. he retaliated.
As of yet, he has not given me any feedback.. I am going to wait tiill the very last day to give him his.

Anybody live near that address?
From his feedback he seems pretty legit, I have his full name address and phone number, and he's currently selling two other items on ebay (i wish i could see how those auctions ended up, but they don't end for another 3 days..)

he is probably legit, go with what java is saying. Also there is a lesson to be learnt for future, always check payment methods or ask seller before bidding.
If some one lives around there they can probby help you out.
[btw zoned check ur pm's]

I buy shit all the time online with different payment methods. THERE IS NO SAFE WAY TO DO IT!
MO = He can cash it and the only thing you can do is file a mail fraud report and hope the local authorities get on his case.
Personal Check = Once the checks cashed, there's nothing you can do about it. I tried it with you know who after 6 months of waiting.
Paypal = After he pulls the money out of Paypal and there's zero money left there, Paypal can no longer force him to put money back to give to you. I've been in that situation. Now I haven't tried their money back gaurantee protection thing they offer, so you might do that.
That's why I said the best way is to at least get his home address to mail the check. At LEAST you'll know where he lives.
