Watch out for fraud !

I also sell scrapbooking supplies in my studio, and a number of us who sell for the same company get huge orders from someone who doesn't use a credit care, but will send a certified cheque. I haven't fallen for it, but some who have, claim that the next step is the cheque arrives in the wrong amount, and the customer requests that the difference be wired back to her. Needless to say, the cheque is a fake.

Yup ~ this is very common in online shopping where your company has a 'online cataglog' option ~ so scrapbooking/stamping/craft supplies, Avon, Epicure, Enjo, Pampered Chef and so forth .... it is shame people fall for it but it really is such a blatent RED FLAG ... so you do not have a credit card ~ use PAY PAL, Email money transfer or other 'secure' form of payment with a 'tracking'!

Do not trust 'money orders' or 'certified cheque' from someone you do not know either because even those can be counterfeit
