Just be sure you follow the rules and understand the maximum daily dollar amount limits when doing this.
This. Thank you. I didn't mean for this to turn into a tangent where someone takes all morning telling us about their bad experiences with bounced checks and shady family members and gives us an aspie play-by-play rundown of how they would go about doing a used car transaction. I know my family member and he is perfectly okay with any legit method of payment as he knows I'm good for it and can find me in a matter of minutes if anything goes awry.
I am pushing forward with Bluebird and will report back when I have any success.
