Money orders don't need to be faked, you can cancel them just like checks, certified checks, etc. So if you accepted a money order and sent the item out and the money order has been canceled, you're screwed as well. There is no really safe way to exchange money for goods other than in person or with a true business. I prefer bank wires for the higher dollar transactions. I never leave money in my Paypal account, I always transfer it to my bank account. They have no right to take it from your bank account without authorization so if you had money just sitting in your Paypal, that was not a good idea.
