Re: check clears
If, I recall an in state check must clear in 3 days. It does not mean what we think it does.
If the check bounces the bank will simply take the money from you. I've had that happen to me.

Re: money orders
I used to sell on ebay. I never had a money order prove to be invalid but I did get some that were drawn by companies I had never heard of.
