Post date the check so that it shouldn't be honored until the date written. This last tip is only my opinion
actually, that's a GREAT tip ... post date the check for two weeks after tix are to be mailed .. then, when you are given the tix, call the ticket office or go by to make sure they are legitimate tix ... if the check clears anytime before that .. this is on the bank and not you .. so, trust me, they won't cash it at all ..

Only problem with that is that the seller is not protected. You could get the tix and stop payment on the check. Just saying. Not sure any way is TOTALLY safe.

The bank is not responsible unless you notify them in writing. All banks address post dated checks in their deposit agreements.

This is all great advice to protect the buyer, but what about the seller. No one wants to mail the tickets and then the check bounce or something else...so it's allways going to be a tricky situation if you can't meet in person.

Wrong, post dating checks will not cover you and if he cashes it before it's not on the bank, it's still on you.

Bad advice that doesn't work check can be cashed before post date and it doesn't protect you

quote:thats a good tip but not necessarily fool proof. Ive post dated checks that get deposited and cashed the same day. when i called the banks, they said that i should hold on to the check til the date i want it cashed....

accountant here. dates on checks have nothing to do with when they're honored or not. you can put a date next year on a check, and the bank will take it. just an FYI. the date is purely for user reference. it doesn't even have to be filled in.
