Paper check payments are handled separately from the auction process. Transactions cannot be tracked or managed online. Any U.S.-based eBay bidder with a checking account can use this payment option. No Billpoint registration required. Buyers pay no fees to use electronic check.
Electronic check is actually cheaper than mailing a paper check or money order.
Paying for an eBay auction item with electronic check is just like paying with a paper check - only safer and more convenient. Similar to writing a paper check at a grocery store, you will need your check book and a second form of identification. After your payment clears, we will notify your seller to ship your item. The entire process typically takes 3 business days. In contrast, paying with a regular paper check typically delays shipment of your item for at least 10 business days while your check is being processed.
