Should I be suspicious of this eBay seller?

[OREOSpeedwagon]

I bought a Titleist 975J driver on eBay for $155.02. The guy has 2 positive feedbacks (no negatives) and tells me he needs the payment to be made by cashier's check. I asked him if I could send him a money order, just because it's cheaper, but he said he needs a cashier's check. This is the first time I've ever sent a cashier's check, should I be suspicious that this guy is trying to scam me?

Yes.

It could be. Did you check to see if the other two items are high dollar items, low dollar items, or if he was the buyer?

Cashier's Check = MO

If you send him a USPS MO, he can cash it at any local USPS for FREE.

Assuming you're both Americans.

He was the buyer on both items, both were golf clubs. One was bought for $96 and the other was $129.

This is exactly how I see it. I really don't see why he should prefer a cashier's check over a money order.

Send him a link to money orders on USPS.com and explain to him in plain english that cashing a USPS MO at the USPS is _FREE_

There are none of these "fees" he's referring to.
