buyer payment echeck problem

[e_knny]

Hi, I sold an item ~3 weeks ago. The buyer paid using an echeck. About 1.5 weeks later, the echeck failed to clear, and he paid again with another echeck. Now that second echeck failed to clear too and he just paid again with another echeck. At what point can I reject payment and just open a nonpayment claim? can I open a nonpayment claim while the echeck is pending?

thanks

First put that bidder on your Blocked Bidder List.

It's under Manage Bidders on the Site Map.

Then ask him for a money order. Preferably an International Postal Money Order, which can be cashed immediately at the PO counter.

At this point he has bounced two cheques. Which has to have cost him a fair whack.
 The $3-$5 for the MO is a bargain.
