    5 weeks gone and still did not receive paypal cheque... Wat should i do next ?
    i had requested a paypal cheque to be sent to India from 2 different paypal id's (Both mine ) to my home address on the same day (August 27,2007).

    however, i have not got any of the cheques till now.
    Previously i had requested 1 cheque and got it in 2 weeks time.

    i have used the "Contact Us" button and sent them this :

    
    I have not received the paypal cheque i had requested on August 27,2007 till date !
    
    Here is the transaction details :

    Since the transaction it has been five weeks and i have still till now not received the cheque.
    Last time i had ordered a paypal cheque i had received the cheque in 2 weeks time.
    But this time it has been more than 5 weeks and i have still not received the cheque.
    i request you to resend the cheque to me at the earliest date possible.
    
    Code (markup):
    have i written everything correct in the "Contact Us " section ?
    anything else to add ?
    and anyone faced such cases in the past? what happened , did you finally get the money ?

    hmm.. my fear paypal cheques also get lost in transportation at times..

    Technically speaking , you can't do much for first 45 days from the date check is issued. Sometime it does take time for paypal checks to India. I receive it for instance in 21 days. Just be patient. Instance of paypal checks being stolen are less , or being encashed by someone else. If you don't get your check within 45 days call Paypal ( I repeat call Paypal , email doesn't work, their support not that great with email ) and explain your situation. You can then reissue a check.

    You will see lot of replies now , telling you to use xoom. If you can get used to xoom.com system and can pay the fees. you can use it too. If you still have any doubts , don't hestitate to send me a pm.

    Thanks Kaushal for the quick help/reply :)
    yes i will from now on be using xoom. some of my other friends also use xoom.
    but i dont know what was wrong with me that i preferred paypal cheque at that point in time :( ...

    so umm.. basically should i just wait till 45 day period ? which means 1 more week... and if i dont get means i should call paypal.. do they re-issue cheques in such situations ? also is there any such scenario that after 60 days from date of transaction they will not take intrest in the matter regarding re-issue of cheque... :)

    Yes I prefer you to wait for atleast 2 more weeks and then contact paypal regarding this. I had got my check here in India after 57 days..

    Now I am using Xoom only ;)

    U can wait for few more days,if u still did not get the cheque then its better to call them and ask them to cancel the cheque.They will charge $15 for cancellation.

    Better if you transfer your money to your credit card which works within 5-7 days.

    wait for 2 more weeks and then ask for status of the cheque. If it is still not credited by anyone ( pray for it ) you can ask to refund the payment to your account. They willl deduct 15$ for this transaction , but then you can't do anything about it. Laterz use xoom ;) .
