why would an echeque not clear? and what do i do with the item?

[stardazzle]

someone bid and bought an item, which they then paid for with an echeque. Paypal said that not to send the item until echeque cleared so i didn't, now the echeque has not cleared. why would their echeque have not cleared?

What can i do WRT to item, do i relist, its too late to offer a second chance?

how long ago did they pay by e-cheque? It can take upto 2 weeks

10 days ago, but have had an email from paypal saying that it hasn't cleared that they have not been able to get the money and not to send items.

the echeque has bounced. contact buyer and ask for another method of payment.

she's now offered to pay by postal order, but its a huge pain to cash them isn't it? i work so going to the post office is a pain.

Save on pp fees though - and you could always pay it into your bank a/c instead. It's as sure as cash but safer to postobviously - think you get up to 6 mnths to cash it. I love postal orders!

[stardazzle]

so i should say yes to a postal order, are there any problems with them?

The buy lives just up the road about 20 miles away, i ahev said she's welcome to come and collect and save the 4.50 p and p

Just don't send until you have cashed postal order. But generally they are good yes.
