I have a unpaid item strike thing going, bought something, less thna £5, paid by cheque as they accepted cheque, but REFUSED to give me thier address after asking 6 times, not on file either.
Then they complained to egay that the payment was late, so I got address from ebay, send off payment(cheque) 10 days later they file a unpaid item, and claimed not to have received the cheque which has already CLEARED in thier account, they also SIGNED FOR the cheque from postie!!
Ebay are useless, they(seller) are still claiming NOT to have received or signed for cheque, ebay don't want to know as usual.

Sorry but........what one earth posesses people to pay by cheque? Paypal is fucking useless admitedly, but cheques fall even lower than paypal.
Do you like waiting 2 weeks to receive your items or something???? A cheque offers you no protection, takes an age to clear, risk of the cheque bouncing etc etc etc. You may aswell transfer into their bank account or send a postal order?!
