***Opening a Pay Pal account is optional. But having one
is simple, works with your regular checking/savings account (transferring
funds), and best of all: you earn REAL interest verses the lack of interest from
banks, oh and let's not forget the service charges!
The best form of payment:

cash!
ATM at PNC Bank (24 hrs)
We no longer accept:

Tried it for 3 years and found few customers use them anyway.
The fees with constant equipment upgrades are too cost
prohibitive.
Personal checks:
We accept local personal checks only with
a photo driver's license (photo copy/pic of license
required), verifiable telephone number (no cell phones)
and address (no P.O. box) to know that you are credit worthy* until
payment.
*A check is an IOU until funds are transferred,
until then it is just paper.
Bad checks are not only a crime, but they cost
money. Even people who don't mean to issue a bad check can do so by
accident**, but banks don't care - they just charge the businesses return fees
on top of not being paid!
Pyramid is a member of FARS (Federal Automated Recovery Systems)
that track and recover "bad checks". This really works and in
the end makes the cost of writing bad checks high.
Good info/advice: Checks clear the same day deposited.
Treat a check with the knowledge that withdrawals are instantaneous. If
there is any doubt about your account, stop at any ATM
along the way or prearrange to use Pay Pal for a deposit.
Beware the Check
21 Act by Congress:
Critics contend that the entire Check 21 Act--is an attempt by
the banking industry to eliminate **"float," the standard one- or
two-day waiting period between the time someone writes a check and the time the
money is actually taken out of their account. Now that checks can be cashed and
cleared electronically, it is theoretically possibly for a bank to take the
money out of your checking account on the same day you wrote the check. This
would make checks behave much like debit cards--making it impossible,
for example, to write a check to pay your bill at the grocery store, then rush
to the bank to make a deposit so the check doesn't bounce.
