help question about postal orders

[mummy2jake]

sent £40.00 in postal orders last week to a seller off ebay anyway cut a long story short seller says i havent paid cant believe i never thought tosend them recorded delivery as i thought they could be tracked really really angry is there any thing i can do or have i just flushed the money down the loo

Thought you could track them down with post office to see if they are cashed.
Did you keep the stub? Also did you write anything on the postal order?

thats what i thougt
i kept counterfoils
and i wrote payees name on it

if you have the stubs the post office will check if they've been cashed and pay the money back to you BUT not for 6 months

and you go back to the post office where you bought the PO from and they will track it down as there is a long number on the counterfoils

anybody know if theres anything i can do?

Have looked on Royalmail site, but cant see any useful info.
I would ask at post office. Keep the stubs, and show them. I always thought you can trace them. Fingers crossed for you.

thanks for there replies will go back to p.o in the morning.

dh had some po stolen last year and the po said they would check in 6 months
