Not sure why the need to sling names and ridicule over this. People are going to select the payment methods that work for them, what do you care what they do? Kind of an idiotic thread in my view.
In my case I happen to love getting cheques. For larger payments yes I do take wires, and in fact get at least one regular wire payment from at least one of my sponsors... and yes, there is a fee at my end from my bank.
But there is no fee for depositing cheques. I simply set up a USD account at my bank, and deposit sponsor's cheques directly into that account. USD funds into USD account = NO DEPOSIT FEES. At least at all the banks I've been dealing with here. I guess Canadian banks know something foriegn banks don't?
Sorry, cheques are cool in my book. I love checking the mail and finding them. I love how they accumulate on my computer desk, and I love taking them into my bank (which I go to every couple of weeks anyway) and depositing them.
You obviously don't agree, so why not just do your own thing your own way and shaddap about worrying what guys like me do?
Cheers. Love to all. :D
