omg I HATE banks sometimes. I deposited a large check from my brokerage account and they put a HOLD on it!! those funds are guaranteed from a NYSE registered company, why the heck is there a hold on it!! and it was a 12 day hold!!

Reading thru the posts some of the responses have the best answer. Cancel the cheque. If he's cashed it you have some recourse thru the account that cashed it. Whoever cashes cheques has to cash it into an account, these accounts have names and these names are liable for the withdrawal of your money. Even if a private company who specialises in cashing cheques has cashed it, these people still take copies of I.D's of the people cashing the cheques. If you have no fairings and the cash has been taken, contact the seller explaining your dissappointment, explain that if he does not contact you within a specified time you will take further action by way of solicitors and courts. Hopefully you took some of his details?! Then hopefully traces can be done on the bank accounts. The police have powers to trace accounts. This offence is part of the theft act in Britain (you may be from the states i'm guessing) and is known as obtaining a pecuniary advantage. Basically obtaining money by deception. I'm sure the US law is similar. Good luck with getting your fairings or money back!!!

I wouldn't go calling the cops just yet. It's only been two weeks and one of those weeks was check time in transit. Give the guy a few days to pack the stuff up. Personally, I would wait until the end of the week before trying to contact authorities. Just my opinion.

bank checks are bankers cash it cant be bad ... if the bank gave him a check "same as cash" how could cash be bad? i think there is some fishy buiz going on here thats why i LOVE paypal secured cash in the bank...... just like a credit card can never be ripped every body should have it

ok first off there was 0 reason to put my information on the site makes no sence what so ever.

now when we were first talking about my farings I told you to send me a POSTAL MONEY order you didnt. since you didnt I will send the farings when the check totally clears my bank.

I requested a postal money order for a readon... hmm what reason could that be? so this issue would not come up.

If thats not good then I will send your money back when the check totally clears.

Postal money orders are about the second least secure form of transaction, second only to cash. Mike didn't hear from you in a few days, was expecting the check to clear immediately (they don't). He put your info up, and look what happened. You showed up. Worked perfectly well. As long as you come through, no harm, no foul. By the way, set up a paypal account.
