So---I answered and said "Thats okay, I'm not in a rush, let them verify it by snail mail. And then---I got an email from the seller saying "The bank has informed him that the cheque will have to be mailed to the Central Commerce Bank of USA for verification---and that there is a $40.00 fee for that---and then it has to be sent on to the main Bank of Canada which requires another fee." All this for something I "won" for $60.00 So---Then I went back in to Paypal and re-registered. And then---I paid him through Paypal, and it was done in 10 minutes!!! This entire fiasco was my fault.---I never had such a problem trying to get rid of my money
Isn't it fun to deal with EvilBay. A while back I had to replace my credit card after the number was compromised but never changed it on EBAY. I got a nastygram from them yesterday that I owed them $4.15 for a posting. I ended up paying them through PayPal, but what a hassel because they had suspended me at least temporarily. At least it was US to US monies, not Canadian to US
