My feeling it that its pretty early to be getting this
worked-up about it. Regardless of what he may have
promised, most people would feel it is reasonable to
receive payment before shipping an item, and perhaps
even waiting for the check to be deposited and cleared.
So that would put a plausible ship date around May 5
or even later, depending on whether it was international,
etc. Depending on how it was shipped, it could still
be in transit somewhere. I think all that is clear at
this point, is the seller is not a great communicator,
but thats pretty far from any irregular or fraudulent
activity. More likely they are just busy, having
some crisis, hospitalized, pending divorce, etc.
The other person's experience with this seller is not
really relevant, except it might serve as a warning
for the future.
IIRC, USPS will refund your money order after 30
days (?), if it has not been cashed. I had to go that
route once, but its been a few years, so details are
fuzzy. That might be one resolution for you. You
fill out some form, and USPS sends you a check for it.
For now, I'd just be patient, and keep trying to make
contact. Good luck!
