<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Neal, post: 26095428, member: 43872&quot;]Sending anybody a check is inherently more risky than any online payment.&nbsp; With a check you give away your bank name, routing number, account number, and your legal bank signature, all at once, and if anyone takes advantage of that, especially in a foreign country, there is really no way to claw back any of your loss.&nbsp; You mioght as well send them your debit card and pin and tell them to take what they want.&nbsp; One way around this, if you aren&#039;t doing this frequently, is to open a separate checking account with just enough money in it to cover any bank fees and the checks you write to strangers (plus whatever the minimum balance is to keep the account).&nbsp; You still do not have a credit card&#039;s protections against fraud.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having already &quot;won&quot; the auction, it looks like you are committed to sending the check.&nbsp; Good luck.&nbsp; Let us know how it turns out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
