Notary Biz
I got an email from Liz at Notary Biz saying that my check had not been cashed. She assured me that she would re-issue. I will update you all when I get my payment.
Good luck to all!

Curious. Did you think to ask to be paid via PayPal? I
had a couple of clients a while back that I insisted on payment through PayPal. I don't extend credit to deadbeats.

I've actually never used paypal. Is it free ? I know Chase has one that's free. I will have to read up on that. Thanks.

I've never paid for a PayPal acct. They used to charge a
small fee for transferring it to my bank acct., and now they don't even charge that.

Just read this morning about Paypal
offering free transactions for a period of time. Can't remember where - I will look if I don't get distracted.

I use PayPal and Square for GNW all the time
It helps when I'm out in the field and someone tells me they don't have cash. "Not a problem! I take plastic, sir/madam". Square and Paypal both charge their standard % fee per credit/debit transaction though. Either way, they've both earned me more business.
More on topic, I've never been charged a fee to use PayPal to transfer money from that acct to my bank acct. They don't even charge me if I accept a check and electronically deposit it into my PayPal acct.

I would not do it unless as part of a corporation. I also would not do it with less than one million in E&O coverage. The problem with search claims is that many of the errors come about because the documents are not indexed correctly. Most indexes are computerized, so if you do a name search and the judgment has an erroneous name, it will be on you. The county has no legal obligation to pay out claims caused by their errors or omissions. I searched manual records back in the early seventies and it still took a lot of concentration, we did not allow anyone to do searches without oversight on all work for several months. If you have a decent income from the closings, I would not recommend abstracting without formal training. We used to get stiffed all the time on fees, especially if it didn't close due to parties backing out. The search is done well before the closing and if it does not close, a lot of customers don't think you should be paid, since they were not paid. You also have to front the cost of any copies they want with the search. Ours are $2.00 first page of document, $1.00 each added page. Can be expensive, so you will need seed money.

Re: Notary Biz Update: 7-22-2013
I had several private messages regarding this issue. I wanted to update you all, that I have NOT received payment from Notary Biz. I'm sure I will, and when I do, I will update you all.
Have a nice day
