This freaking IDIOT won an item from me on ebay, and she's trying to pay me with a personal check, which I very clearly don't accept. I have good reasons for this - I've had customers with flawless feedback bounce checks on me, and now that I live 20 miles from the nearest branch of my bank - and don't have a car of my own! - it's really just too much of a hassle.
So... do I explain this to her and tell her that if she's willing to wait almost a month for her item (because I'm not going to the bank again for a couple weeks, and then the check has to clear), she can pay with a check? Or do I stick to my guns and tell her that she can pay with a money order like every other person who's won an item from me for the past 3 years?
