I did another purchase at the same time with echeque and there was no discrepancy with that one, so this beats me.

What discrepancy are you talking about Michelle?

 

There is nothing different or strange about the transaction as you have described it so far.  It may take a few days longer for an echeque to clear to a Canadian Bank than a local bank but I did warn you before you even asked the seller if they would post to Australia that it would be a long slow process.

 

As for the echeque not clearing.....that is entirely up to you.  If the money is in your bank account the it will clear.  If the money is not there then you can expect your bank to impose fees for an overdrawn account.

 

But didn't you say a few days ago that the funds had been withdrawn from your account?
