    Safe to sell items by check?

    I'm a frequent paypaller.....and rarely do transactions not using it. But someone doesn't have paypal and wants to pay by check.

    If he allows for the check to clear, is there any problem or concern?
    Can I be notified when it does clear by the bank?

    Why can't people use paypal...!??!? :?

    He can't do a money order from his bank?

      I dunno. I would assume he could.

      I'm internet-purchasing stupid outside of paypal, so I'm scared what is normal or protected.

        Have him send you a money order from the post office. There's only a 90 cent charge to get one

          Well the bank isn't going to call you to let you know it cleared or anything. Just check online or call them up a couple days after you deposit it.

            okay cool.

            the guy sounds as anal as I am about it all so I don't think he's trying to pull one on me. Just want to be safe. ...... the internet is a scary place.


            I'm only gotten about 5-6 of these:

              I would highly recommend against a personal check. It could bounce a month later and leave you in the dust.

              Money order or PayPal.

                    If he has the money, he can get a MO. No reason to send a check.

                    PS - totally with you on the why don't people use paypal ;)

                        I've heard of a couple buyers not liking PayPal because they have to release your banking info.
