Right, but I was thinking regular checks so you can check your own status on XXXbank.com. It just seems to be easier (for me) that way. Then again, I do work at a bank; it's always easier to make stop payments and all.
I do notice that the point of having a cashier's check made was for the seller's to be assured that the funds are there. However, that saves the seller's ass but buyer's will never know if it's been cashed or not. .... no wonder seller's on eBay always prefer it.
And yes, PAT's right, if your buddy isn't worried about it, you shouldn't either. But hey,, at least you're a good friend for initiating the help.
