How to Stop a Money Order

A few hours after sending a USPS money order Priority Mail with a request for delivery confirmation to an address in Atlanta, I received a message from eBay telling me that the recipient’s account had been suspended because of unauthorized access. Does anyone know how to stop a money order?

Alternatively, does anyone know any goons hanging out in a bar in Atlanta looking to make a few bucks? (Note: I just want my money order back. I am not paying anything extra for throttling.)

Here’s how you do it. You get a form #1509 from your local post office. (It’s not available on the USPS.com site.) It’s an “Application for Recall.” You fill it in and fax it to the post office branch that will be delivering your envelope; you can get that address at www.usps.com. You call the local destination branch and talk to the nice lady there. She gives you the fax number. You fax the #1509. You cross your fingers because it hurts too much to Jewish-star your fingers.
