I've just sold something online, and the buyer wants to pay me with an "E Trade Check".  
I've never heard of this.  WHAT IS IT, and is it as "safe" as a money order?

It's a legitimate check through E-Trade, debited to his account.  I had an E-Trade account.  I don't know if it is any more or less safer than any other check.

That probably doesn't help, but that's the best I can do.

E-trade is a bank, just like any other bank.  The check that he'll be sending you should be no different than any other check.  Just like any other bank, make sure whether it's a personal check or cashier's check.

I have a money market account with [url]www.netbank.com[/url] myself... and get pretty good interest to boot.
