This doesn't sound the least bit shady. A money order really???? I would never send a money order to someone I couldn't identify. Good luck canceling that payment if he doesn't send you anything. Dear Paranoid seller, there's this neat way to get paid called Paypal. You don't even have to use your real name on the transaction.
At least with PP if the person tries to rip you off you can cancel the payment. So how was he going to give you the merchandise? Was he going to leave it in an alley behind a dumpster at 2:00 am on the first full moon of the month? Personally I would avoid transactions with people like this.
