I agree with the folks that said if you paid with a postal money order, you should definitely get the post office involved. And, just a side note for everyone, if you are paying through PayPal, especially for high-dollar stuff with someone you've never dealt with, even if you have the money in your PayPal account, pay with a credit card! Most credit cards have buyer protection. PayPal's buyer protection means nothing, there's been a few times where I've gotten screwed, and they have never stepped up and fixed things. My brother bought a very expensive mountain bike and paid with his CC through PayPal. When the bike came, it ended up being a POS fake knockoff, and PayPal didn't want to hear it and offered no help whatsoever. When he talked to the CC company, the money was refunded almost instantly.
