So, I still own zero guns. I buy them as "gifts" for my Dad and he lets me shoot "his" guns. I'm looking for a gun club to join so that I could store everything at the clubhouse.
No, USPS does NOT reimburse money orders that were fraudulently cashed. They only reimburse lost money orders that was lost through the postal system after you pay $5 to see what happened to it and it takes f o r e v e r for them to get you that info. In other words, you have to pay $5 so that they could tell you if it's their fault or not. Wow, now THAT's customer service.
TAM, no, I am not going to drive to the other side of the DFW metroplex to "confront" a guy selling GUNS. Bad idea, man. I like shooting PAPER or metal pie plates, NOT people! "Confronting" an armed man over money is the best way to get your rear rump shot! A situation I'd be keen to avoid.... Besides, they will only see you "by appointment". I called them and tried to pay FTF, but every time slot that I requested to meet was "unavailable". Finally, I asked what was available and they said that they're only available to meet with customers for a couple of hours on Friday afternoons. I should've been suspicious right then and there, but I was STUPID and mailed him the money order instead because I didn't want to be labeled a non-paying bidder.
What are your experiences with that gun auction site? If enough people who have grievances against this website get together, we may be able to start a class action lawsuit and recover some of our losses due to the illegal and unethical business practices of this website!
OK, I'll play again. Maybe I missed something? On what grounds do you plan on sueing the auction site?

The seller ripped you off, not the website.
