withdrawal issues when check payment is requested

[DoreenLM]

I live in Jamaica and whenever I want to withdraw funds from my Paypal account I have to use check withdrawal. There is no other way.

I am always anxious whenever I request a check (cheque) - when will it arrive? will it arrive? The length of time it takes for a check to arrive suggests that Paypal is not using Air Mail.

Suggestions: a) Is it too difficult for a tracking system to be in place - what would be the added cost to persons like me? b) The post office has a system of 'Registered Mail'.  If that is used we would feel safer.

c) I live in Jamaica and so I don't have a US bank account. However through our banks we can create US$ trading accounts which receive and dispatch monies in that currency. I am suggesting that such an account can be used as the transfer account.
