I know this is not exactly what you are talking about but since its a curious cash thread, I thought I'd chime in. Recently they sent me a message saying they no longer pay by check and needed me to let them know how I would like to be payed. They gave me 3 options and I chose a bank wire. I responded to their email 5 times before ever hearing back. Felt a little weird and now hearing this it seems they are not "on the ball" like they use to be. Just my 2 cents.
