As to the bad check thing, I'm going to learn from your experience. I think what I will do is be certain the check is good B4 I close the show. I could take the check to the host's bank and cash it ...
Just how DO you protect yourself from that happening? With me just starting out I don't have an abundance of cash in my PC account ...

I try to do that but some hosts don't use them or whatever.The_Kitchen_Guy said:
I have rarely had a bad check in 5 years and those that have bounced have made it good! I called her at 8:30 and she said that she would call her mom (check was written on mom's account). I have not heard back yet and will call her in an hour (noon) if I don't hear before then. I also need to tell her that I won't accept another check. Cash or money order if you please!
I would have thought a week would have been long enough for a check to clear (amount of time before I delivered the order) but NOOOOOOOOOO!
You know, PC wants us to send the shows in quickly but they don't give us any help with what to do in these cases. Fortunately, it is rare and most people are honest and are very upset and embarrassed when it happens.

Oh Beth, BTW... DH and I are "credit card free" and have been for about three years and are NEVER planning to go back. But, I also don't write checks to other people that I can't cover...
