Lou, The cashier's check request is why I'm writing. A cashier's check guarantees only that the person depositing it will receive the funds within one day from the bank: it does not guarantee that the check is genuine. This is the basis of the fraud where someone sends a cashier's check for more than the required amount and asks for a 'refund' of the balance. A cashier's check is no more genuine than a personal check. I would still require that the bank verifies the cashier's check before using the money from it, and certainly before sending anything to the buyer. In fact, I would suspect a cashier's check more than a personal check because the sender knows the cashier's won't bounce until after the scam.
