i had sold a 925.00us vase a few weeks back and the lady wanted to pay via personal cheque. fine, so i send her an email with CAP LOCKS clearly stating 20 business day clearance, as advised by my bank...so i suggested a money order instead. but she still sent the cheque. so last night, i get an email from her saying her cheque cleared her account, if i could send out the item. i deposited this cheque april 17 or 18...a weak and a half ago. i asked if she could email proof of her cheque clearing (most people have internet banking and can copy and paste the section showing the cheque clearing), she replied back saying her bank told her the only way i can have proof is if they mail me a copy of the cheque (by the time i were to get it, her cheque would have cleared already), so now she's saying what else do you want me to do?
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....i emailed her back clearly stating that i had CLEARLY mentioned 20 business days for clearance, and a weak and a half later she's bugging me to send it. she's lucky i even agreed to the sale, as she has a po box unconfirmed address, but the only reason i'm going ahead with the sale (expresspost signature required by the way) is because she has 184 feedback score, %100...
anyways, just wondering if you guys take customer's word that their cheque cleared as good enough, or am i being too paranoid, should i just ship it???
