Just as a general caution, I no longer do any business outside of the US and Canada. It's really difficult to investigate any problems and oftentoo much time can pass between emails when securing a deal.
Also, if you are going to take a personal check you can do a couple of things to protect yourself.
1) Call the bank that issues the check and verify funds are available before depositing. This is legal and your is right to do.
2) After depositing a personal check, wait 10 business days before shipping anything. Just make sure this is clear with the buyer. like " sure, I'll take a personal check, but your shipping will be delayed by 14 days untill the check clears" if it's a big enough deal to the buyer, they will go to the bank or post office and get a cashiers check.
