They won and they lied about when they sent the MO out, wound up taking 9 days for me to receive the MO. I deposited it the next day and have planned on waiting 5 business days for it to clear. They had asked for me to notify them when I received the MO and I did and I explained to them that I was unhappy with being lied to and it would need to clear before I shipped the esc. It has only been in my bank for 3 business days and they are giving me a hard time for not shipping it yet.
HAve I done something wrong? I have never dealt with money orders before and I will never accept them again! I figured 5-7 business days to clear just like a check, am I wrong?

Mo can be the biggest scam out there. Do not accept them, unless you know who is sending them to you. Treat them like checks, when they clear, ship the item. If they have a problem, tell them to take it up with paypal (joke). And sell your stuff on forums, screw ebay. I have 1200 feedback there, but only buy from powersellers now. I hardly ever sell anything, cause you can get screwed. If they are acting weird make sure you track the package... At least they cannot screw you like they can with paypal. I had to refund money to a guy, and I know he received the package. I could not prove it...
Just be careful with MO, they can be faked easily...
