Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Help needed. Returning unwanted money order.
Basically...
I was considering selling to someone. We discussed deposits etc at about 5pm on the 2nd. In the early hours of the 3rd, she started to change ALL details of the deal, and wasn't happy when I said I was only going to sell under the original discussed terms and that she shouldn't send a deposit to me, and if she did I would have to send it back to her.
Just now she has replied to a different classified of mine saying "I sent a deposit. Why are you still advertising her?" The classified is a separate one and includes zero details/ pictures of the kitten she had wanted.
IF she did send a deposit after I told her not too, where do I stand?
Do I return the original money order and get the letter signed for, so I know it gets there (What if she says it didnt/ or was empty) Do I cash it and use the exact same money to send her a money order in her name, so that I can check online, to see its been returned/ cashed.
I have never dealt with a person like this before and I have never dealt with money orders.
What would you do?
ETA. I've kept all emails, just in case she turns nasty because I refuse to sell to her.

Depends on how she sent the original money order...
If a signature is required, you could simply refuse the shipment and have it returned to her. If no signature is required, I would suggest returning it with a signature requirement on delivery (so you have proof it was received).
I see absolutely no benefit in cashing the money order, then purchasing a new one - she could argue that cashing the money order was an acceptance of the deposit & the last described terms. Once you cash it, you have her money....she doesn't have it back until she cashes yours.
Personally, I don't think it matters a whole lot whether she sent the payment before, or after, you told her not to - her waving money in your face is just an offer - you still have the right not to sell to her, so you choose whether or not to accept it. For that matter, if you have accepted a deposit and the customer starts changing terms, you can still refund that deposit and decline the sale.

So just refuse to sign for the letter if its a signature is required. If not send it via signature required. I'll get a proof of postage at the post office as well.
I've never dealt with money orders before and never been put in this situation before.
Thank you Mr Moore.
