I deposited the bank check into my own account. Then I shipped the guy his GI Joe.
Also proving this person is a noob.
Step 1 - Deposite bank check.
Step 2 - Wait for funds to clear! (3-10 days)
Step 3 - Ship item.
I've done many check transactions on ebay that worked fine. I always made buyers aware... no ship until I see $$$. Sure ebay can be a dangerous place, but if more people used recommended precations, risks would be greatly reduced. I've been on ebay about 9 years. Out of about 200 transactions, I got taken once for about $35US. 8 years ago I took a chance buying from a new user with a feedback rating of (1) without asking alot of questions. The guy was reported and banned, and that mistake was never repeated.
