ECheques / excessive ebay spending.

WTF are these things

Just won a camera on Flebay and it usually just pays the seller and then withdraws it out of my account at a later date (3-4 days) but its sent him a friggin ECHQ and said 7-9 days to clear!!

WHAT THE HELL IM WELL MIFFED OFF I REALLY REALLY wanted me new super duper camera for wed Im off shift the rest of the week and me and Oran were going to go out with it,

he said he will still send it as he has had confirmation it will clear so I hope he does and doesnt decide to wait till its cleared funds, he said I will have it on wed anyway.

Now I just need to figure out how to tell OH ive spent £330 on a camera..........Think ill say £200 he wont notice the money will be going out my account, will save me a load of earache! (isnt it the women who are supposed to give the men the earache!)

Think its something to do with what number you have registared

If you have your actual bank account number they will do that Echq thing but if you register your actual card number then it will just go through as normal. I did it too its soooo annoying because it doesn't tell you and I'm impatient and want the thing now hehe!

yeh it pays instantly if you register your card but if you register just your bank then it makes sure you have the payment in the bank before paying them like a cheque would. if previously it has sent it instantly and this is the first time its doen an echeque and you have registered a card then it could be because they need you to update card details.
