Echeque Question

Options
Hello all,

Quick Echeque question, I have won pending at the moment into my account and was just wondering what it displays if it does not go through? Do they email you to tell you?

I have only started using Ebay/Paypal for the first time in years so a bit rusty. Already been shocked by the new 21 day hold :D
July 2015 Wins- Shaun The Sheep Goody Bag, 4x Books

Year to date: £786

Total to date ( Since 2008 ) = £37,345 :eek:

    The status in your paypal account will show if echque clears or not. Do not send until it shows as clear, but do warn the buyer that it has come through as an echeque and there will be a delay. Buyer might not be aware the payment has arrived as an echeque.

    Ironically about a third of my PayPal payments to eBay to pay for my fees go as an echeque , I rather like that as a glitch.
