Don't fret...yet...

When I was selling frequently on eBay I had my account suspended twice for selling vintage bootleg LPs, some of which selling on eBay are a DEFINITE nono and others that are in a grey area, and, essentially "OK" to sell. Well, OK in the sense you can get away with it...

eBay sent out the same "warning" to my customers and got everyone into a dither. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I did everything I was obligated to do, such as send paid for items to the buyers. I did this because it was/is the right thing to so. Just because eBay sent you the warning DOES NOT mean your seller will screw you. Then again, it works the other way as well. Also, no telling WHY your seller was suspended. It could actually be something nefarious. Contact the person and explain your concerns and remember that most likely the seller will be back on eBay soon enough, and you may have recourse then. Bay is an important outlet for most sellers; they don't want to lose that market. Communication is a must in this type of situation.

As regards the MO. If you have records of a legitimate transaction paid for with a MO, I believe you have the advantage and right to persue mail fraud. For $30 I don't know if it's worth doing, someone with more experience can give better advise. Paypal has worked great for me. I have over 700 transactions as a seller and all has been good. My wife has over 3,000 transactions as a buyer and no problems whatsoever. In fact, she will NOT buy from a seller that doesn't accept PP.

Good luck!
