Some time ago, a commissioner paid for a tail and ear set from me. They asked if they could pay with a money order since paypal was not an option. I said that's fine.
I received the money order, and it was made out to "Mander's Fur Shack", and not to me personally. Therefor, no matter where or who I went to, they would not cash it.
I'm not sure what to do. He paid $50 for a tail and ear set, and I feel so insanely guilty about all of this. I have 'some' fur to make it for him, but the fact of the matter is; I'll be doing it as a courtesy, since the money order was not usable.

I would also reconsider taking money orders in the future. It's easy for lots to go wrong, as you've come to find.
I mean, it's not as if you told him to do it that way, right? I recently had to make someone cover for their boo-boo in a similar situation, I also felt crappy for doing it but they were very understanding. Most people are, I wouldn't sweat it.
Let them know this, be polite when you send it back. Tell them to take the STUB they have from buying it and have it refunded and resent, since they won't be out any cash if they have it refunded and resent.
If you told this buyer the correct real life name to send it to and they ignored it, have them cover the shipping of a new one, if you did not, offer to cover the shipping for a new MO, that's just my view and policy, your mileage may vary,
