I list an item. Purchased via buy it now the morning it lists.
My ad text (fairly simple, uncluttered listing)
Money Order preferred. Personal check by express permission only after review of your account. (in bold, larger type with emphasis, etc.)
Buyer's immediate communication:
i'LL SEND THE MONEY ORDER TOMORROW. PLEASE, SEND ME THE ITEM AS SOON AS YOU GET THE CHECK.
One week later (i.e. just now), I receive a =personal check= . . .
12 feedback buyer, mostly positive, a neutral for being too quick on the neg button. . .
Annoying.
So, I have oddly little experience accepting and cashing personal checks . . .
It's a bank called "SunTrust" in Florida. Do most, or at least many banks have some sort of way to check availability of funds?
If I deposit it and it bounces, do I incur fees?
Thanks for any general wisdom . . .
