Bummer.

Imagine this. (Put yourself in my creative shoes for a minute or two, k?)

You get an order from a customer. This customer has ordered from you before and you know she totally loves what you create. So you start creating! You're super excited for her to get it and let her know when it's ready. You just know it will go great with her personality and wardrobe! So she sends you a check in the mail and you go to the bank and cash it. Off to the post office you go to mail her goody!

Two weeks go by and you get docked for a check amount and a returned check fee from your bank. Oh the horror! You think about who the check may be from and really, you know who it was because she was the only one you billed in that amount in the past 12 months that has paid by check. But you'll wait to get a copy of the check before confronting her because, sure - you just might be wrong.  And now, you have to ask her to pay you again, but this time you need her to cover the NSF expense from the bank, too. And that just makes your stomach turn thinking about it.

So.

Because of this scenario, I'm sorry - but I have to change my payment methods. I'll continue to accept cash and paypal. But if you want to pay me by check, it has to be a certified check of some sort. Money order, cashier's check - it's up to you. I just hate that I have to do this. But I guess, I have to insure that I don't get taken advantage of. I already have relatively low rates as it is and I eat half the shipping charges anyway...

I hope you all understand. Thanks!
