Check in Canadian currency to an American account?

[D-MaN88 0]

Hey all,

Stupid question more than likely but I'm selling my 7500s to a buyer in Canada and we were both wondering how a canadian check worked with an american bank account. Does it work the same way as say if he wrote me a check for $125 it would be $125 when I cashed it or if I even can? Can anyone provide any insight about this to me because I have never went about something like this before and no I don't have paypal for a couple bad reasons or another so this or money order would be the only option.

Thanks in advance,

not sure about the internation check issue, but if you want to make things alot easier have the buyer go to the post office, and purchase a INTERNATION MONEY ORDER, then he can pay you in USD instead of CDN

I know if it was going from US$ check to CDN account, the bank will just cash it and convert at whatever rate. I'm assuming the two countries aren't so different and it'd work the same in reverse.

Only it takes alot longer for the check to actually clear.. Like 2-4 weeks. So the buyer will need to wait up to a month to get his product. Or he could just buy a Canadian money order and most banks cash it within a week. Or paypal..
