This definitely sounds like a scam. I would also caution you not to accept cashier's checks in the future. Another scam is to send a cashier's check, you deposit it or cash it, ship the goods, then in a few days your bank calls and says the check was a forgery. You're now out the money and the merchandise. Cashier's checks are probably the most forged financial instrument these days. Always insist on a postal money order or something else you can absolutely verify before shipping merchandise.
For those who don't know, you can cash a postal money order at any Post Office with the funds available, or cash it at your bank. They can call and verify that the money order is valid, or there's an 800 number you can call yourself and verify it. Good protection for you.
