Does anyone know what website take pesonal checks as payments?

Question

I have looked everywhere to try to find websites that take personal checks to order electronics and other stuff? Can someone plaese give some addresses that still let you do that?

Answer 1

Sorry. I guess none of us understand the point. I don't make purchasing decisions based on payment methods, but I made payments based on purchasing decisions. Once you've made the purchasing decision, email the website and ask if they'll accept your personal check.

Answer 2

There are probably a few web sites that will electronically debit your account, and ship the product after the money clears... But you'll have to do some hunting.

Taking personal checks from out-of-the-area customers with no way to verify their identity is a pretty stupid business decision. In the 1990s, a number of high profile companies went under because of the debt load from bad checks.

Would you take a check from me? How would you verify I was who I said I was?

With Visa and Mastercard debit cards free with most checking accounts these days, there really is no reason to use a check except for local purchases and paying your monthly bills. Talk to your bank.

I'm an ex-cop, so I tend to be suspicious. When you ask about websites that will take a check, I start wondering about the possibility of check fraud. Merchants will be just as suspicious.
