    dont do it, i had about the same situation a few years ago. i did it and cashed the check at my bank, two weeks later the bank said i owed them the money back cause the check was fake. and i had to pay the return shipping on a subbie block.

    Yes, then wait for it to clear your bank, but call the bank thats listed on the check first and verify funds by the account number on the bottom, then first 9 is the aba routing number, after that is the account # , the last numbers are the check number.

    Tell him to do a money order instead, and that you will ship the merchandise once you are able to verify the validity of the funds.

    Or you could always have him Western Union the money to you, and you can pick that shit up just about anywhere. Kroger, Publix, Walmart, etc.

    Hope this helps!

    Paypal is the best method; however, if he insists on a check then tell him it must be a certified check or Money Order.

    In all honesty, it sounds like a scam.

    PayPal only. Checks and money orders can be faked. If you go through the process with paypal, your transaction will be protected.
