payment for an item by cheque

[thegruncher]

Hi all,

I've got a couple of items for sale and I've requested payment via PayPal. However a buyer has contacted me asking if they can pay by cheque. I am considering this but how can I change the listing to allow payment by cheque OR PayPal? No one has bid as yet

Am I right in thinking that eBay won't know I've been paid unless it goes through PayPal, or can I enter payment received manually?

Will I get the option to enter payment received manually if pay by PayPal is the only option?

Cheers, Cliff

Buyer can send you a cheque, you wait until it clears before posting item,

you then mark item as paid for.

Buyer will not have any ebay MBG, so all in your favour.
