There's more than just one person in these forums who's lost out thanks to taking or paying with paypal...

Really? No way. And how many bounced cheques? Bank transfers to scammers? Cheques to NPSs? Postal orders to NPSs?

You're really going to have to do better than this tosh you keep coming out with.

You take payment by cheque, it clears or it does not.

You take payment by paypal, and who knows what will happen...

Hintza, I'll consider this a lesson learned, the value of the claim is £41, so I may be able to claim £34 of it back from Royal Mail.

I'll argue with Paypal, that the buyer had sent an email after receiving the goods and see what comes of it.

Why should Royal Mail cough up?

We all know the buyer recieved it...

Cheques can be recalled months after 'clearing'

Only if they're stolen.

And how are you meant to know if they're not?

In any case, that's not strictly true; the legit owner of that chequebook can have that cheque cancelled months later if they care to.

How can they when it has cleared?

if they claim that it was issued fraudulently, the cheque can be reclaimed.

They can pretend it was stolen, but thats risks going to jail for obtaining goods by deception, and the bank will expect to see evidence of the fraud before anything happens as it is likely that they will be refunding the sum involved.

greenstreetprince

evidence of the fraud? where do you get this bull from?

my cheque book has been stolen, full stop, what is their to prove? if its stolen, its stolen.
