What are the restrictions on the check?  Does it require cashing at a bank?

You'll never know the answer until you present it for cashing.

Paypal issues bank checks,it has to be cashed at a  bank.

she can always try and see if ACE would take it.

Actually Ace check cashing is the only place that I have ever cashed paypal checks because I don't have a bank account.

there are not any restrictions I've cashed all my paypal checks at Ace, if I have proof of the transaction maybe they'll cash it? I mean basically I sent the check to myself

what do you mean by mistake? if you mean is the last name spelled wrong then no because they left off my last name. I do have a last name the mistake was they left it off. I guess all I can do is go and see if they'll cash it, I just wanted to see if anybody had any advice beforehand or if this has happened to anyone else
