what's the scam here?

In response to my Craigslist ad:

Tanks for your urgent reply I am most interested and I would have love to come over and pay you
cash
and carry but right away I am out of city for church assignment
(CRUSADE).
I am buying it as a gift to my uncle, More so I have an account with
paypal >but some months back I was ripped off, hence I stopped using paypal.
I will appreciate to offer you $345 for the item including the
packing
materials for shipment. I will also take the responsibity of the
shipment
by using my Fedex account for shipping.
My way of payment is through USPS MONEY ORDERS that will be handled
by
United States Postal Service in a way of securing both us. I just have
to
be skeptical this time around. Please I am not trying to be rude, if
do
forgive me.
If my arrangement is ok by you do get back to me with you names,
address

__________

(my asking price was $270)
Is it just a counterfeit money USPS money order?
If I insist on cashing the money order at the post office before shipping the item, am I protected from any possible scam?
