There are a lot of counterfeit Western Union Money Orders floating around. I would not take one under any circumstances. IF you clearly stated USPS Money Order in your listing the guy hasn't got a leg to stand on, and I would expect any fraud involved would by on his part. Sent it back, and cancel the deal with an explanation to eBay. Fight any negative feedback. That is my opinion.
