    I'd wait till the 7th Day from Payment in case its going to Bounce & make sure that you send the item via a 'Signed For' Service i.e. 1st class recorded if its worth less than £32 or Special Delivery if worth more.

    If you send it standard 1st Class you'll be open to the GET AN ITEM FREE SCAM as you'll not have a Tracking Number to give to Paypal

    I suppose the one good thing about it being an echeque is that there's no chance of a credit card chargeback in the future :D
