What the hell? How does a Frenchman sell a personal vehicle then? I wouldn't trust a check...
I just recently sold a vehicle for $7,800 in cash. It's insane to me that that could be considered illegal.
- enqk 11y agoI saw in some official reference that the limit applies to business transactions with a professional. For a person to person transaction they say there is no limit, as long as a bill is recorded if amounts > 1500e. In France, there's a special kind of certified check that persons can use for large transactions where the amount is pre-debited and the check comes directly from the Bank itself.
- redblacktree 11y agoI think you're talking about a "cashier's check" which we have in the US too; the problem is that these can be forged, and the bank will still accept it as a deposit. What many people don't know, is that when the check fails to clear, the depositor is liable for the missing funds, not the forger.
