I just went through the same experience in sending out postal money orders via priority mail. It really does put both you and the seller in awkward positions when the mail gets lost.
I would suggest two additional actions on your part:
(1) Although my seller was very understanding about the situation, for my peace of mind, I sent him copies of my money order receipts just to let him know I had attempted to pay him.
(2) File a lost money order form (I believe you need to wait 14 days after purchase) with the post office (cost is $2.75 per money order).
The post office responded to my lost money order form letters and after the sixty day wait they sent out my replacement money orders. I hope everything works out for you. Just look at it as a hiccup in life.
