Ive heard of this before. The buyer will ask at a later date for the extra cash he sent to be returned in GBP thus he has launderd some cash.
But I may be wrong.

sounds a bit suspect to me :? Be very careful!

Seem to remember a scam/fiddle as Gruf say's, coming into conversation on a Ninja forum i look at time2time.
I would definatly be very wary of the whole thing. :?
Then again i may be wrong. Their is a solicitor on the Ninja site i could ask if you want, he should be able to shed a little more light on it.

Ady its a scam, the cheque clears after a fashion you pay the excess back that you are unable to recover once paid in and the cheque turns out to be a dud when it gets properly checked by the bank central clearing houses. DO NOT PAY ANY MONEY OUT. The bank can claim against you.

Just think about it...there is no reason at all for someone to send a cheque out for way over the cost of the goods unless there was some scam involved.
