Given that info, does this mean that in actuality I really don't have any clue if the checks are likely to bounce and my bank is just fronting the funds, or did it pass an initial level of screening and at this point we should be good to go barring any craziness between then and now?
Correct, if you sold something om eBay or Craigslist and got a similar type check, it might take 2-3 weeks before you knew check did not clear.
received check 4/7 req 4/2
