Back when checks were more common on ebay I had someone ask why his stuff hadn't arrived. So I asked why his check hadn't.
He did send it, but sent another. When I got it I realized why it didn't arrive. He sent it in one of the payment envelopes from his electric company which had a preprinted bar code. So the automatic machine read the code and sent his check addressed to me to his power company. When he called them, they said they were wondering when he'd call. I got a new check, he got his original one back. All was good.
