I sent a signed copy FFL and a $298 Postal Money Order to a dealer in NY for a Mossberg 590A1. A few days later, I Emailed the guy to see if he had received it, and he replied "WE HAVE IT WE WILL GET IT OUT CHARLIE". The next day, a lady from this place calls me to tell me that they received the FFL but no MO. (This is Bull! I personally filled out the MO, placed it and the FFL in an envelope, sealed it, and turned around and dropped it into the mail slot while I was still at the Post Office.) I call "Charlie" back the following day to see if he had found the MO. He told me no, and he was going to sell the shotgun in 3 days if he doesn't receive payment. I immediately head over to the Post Office to see if they could trace it. I was told that I would have to wait for 30 days. "Charlie" better hope that the MO didn't get deposited into his account by mistake. If it is indeed lost, I will eventually get the $298 back. I would rather have the shotgun than the money though.
What is my recourse if the money order was actually deposited into the business account? I made it out to a business, so they should have to deposit it rather than just cash it. Right?
Anyone else have any experience with this type of situation?
Thanks,
Joe
