I was shipping and selling only to the U.S.. The buyer has a U.S. address to ship to but he sent me a Canadian Bank Check. The buyer has 104 positive feedbacks and he said that it must be a misunderstanding. I will just have to wait. The credit union seems to be doing me a favor by collecting the money.
Usually the credit union deposits the check and then they tell me how long I will need to wait before the check has cleared. I guess they might have seen something that made them suspicious.
It seems to be a Canadian Cashier Check or bank check and it is payable through a U.S. bank.
PayPal is a risk also. I sold 3 items to a person in Germany. The buyer found a lower priced item so he said that he was returning 2 of the items. He didn't even ask. I had no choice but to refund the money after he returned the items. I think Western Union is a better choice for overseas payments. Accepting PayPal is kind of like being Wal-Mart, if the person finds a lower price then they can return the item with no questions ask.
