Sure enough, TD Bank check arrives via FedEx two days later, I do a mobile deposit, it clears right away and I ship the gun. I emailed a few days after I get notice that the gun got delivered. Buyer says he's been busy, but will get it soon and leave me good feedback.

Yesterday I get an email that a package from the buyer is getting delivered tomorrow. I forward to buyer and ask what's going on. This is his reply:

"Yes, weird, of course I been juggling way to much lately and could of been me, I got to stop drinking the water,lol
Well if I did I apologize, I do recall telling them to ship the second day, not next day, and using my business account the price drops 50% .,


I will look for the receipt and see what it says, I paid more then a stamp to be faster but shipped it slower then a stamp, , whats wrong with that picture, lol,

Thank you for your patience, "

Today another check arrives for the same amount, looked identical to the other one except for the date and check number, signature is a tiny bit different. I called my bank, they said the first check is cleared and cannot be clawed back.

What to do next?
Reading that nonsensical sentence tells me the buyer should stop drinking something. I have no idea what he is saying.

Keep the check until he asks for it.
