Have just sold an item on E-BAY and have been paid by E-CHEQUE.

Never dealt with these before.Anyone had any problems or dealings with these.?

 

shit

its a genuine thing, but takes age to "clear"

i dont like accepting them

Do take a while, maybe 7 days

 

I take it once it,s in your PAYPAL account ,it,s actually yours and won,t dissapear or be retracted when you have posted the item?

 

i've had e cheques take up to 20 odd days to clear. i have also had ones that havn't cleared, so don't send yet.

 

I had somebody pay me like this once, it took about 7 days, then paypal said the payment had failed. The whole time this was going on the buyer was chasing me to find out if I had posted it and threatened bad feedback as I had taken ages to post it.

This is only my experience, and my advice would be to beware and only post once the payment was clear.

I couldn't understand that if they had a paypal account and so did you why don't they just make a straight transfer of pay by credit card like most others???

 

That,s exactly what i,m thinking.

 

Paypal will automacticaly send a E-Cheque is the paypal account holders back up funds credit card details have expired. Had it happen to me when I needed some parts urgently as I didnt relise that i'd forgotten to update my credit cards details in my paypal account. Cant you contact the buyer, ask them to check their account details and then resend??
