I no longer do business with sellers who require money orders, and I dissuade buyers sending them to me. The reasons cited on this thread are enough, but I also had the following situation occur:

buyer sent me a money order and I did not receive it. So I did not mail the package.
The buyer checked with the Post Office and they told him that it had been cashed!
I told him to send an affidavit to the post office stating that it wasn't his signature.
The post office said that they did not care - regardless of who signed for it, they weren't going to reimburse him.

The buyer was a decent guy and I had no reason to doubt his word.
