OT - Postal Money Order Question

[GMCPerson]

A pair of 1999 Grand Prix Headlights were listed on Ebay with no picture. I sent the guy a note and asked if they were complete assemblies which include the headlamp, marker light and bracket. He responded that they were complete assemblies.

I won the auction and sent a Postal Money Order since he would not accept Pay Pal. After a month the parts arrived. All I got were marker lamps. I e-mailed the guy and he said that those were what the auction was for. When I asked for my money back, he refused. I called him and he told me I was harrasing him and not to call again. I went through EBay arbitration but since I paid with a MO, they could do nothing for me.

I thought that I read on this board that the Post Office would help get my money back - potentially mail fraud? The local Post Office says that they can't and the USPS website is no help. Does anyone know of a way I can pursue this. I am only out $60.00 but it really upsets me that I got lied to and they guy was so rude. Negative feedback did not help make me feel any better. This was the second thing he had ever sold. Any suggestions besides a tall tree and a short piece of rope would be appreciated. Thanks, Paul
