When will E-check be accepted again?

Hey, I've wanted to ask when or if E-checking will be accepted as a payment method again as it says on the site as of now cryptocurrencies are the only accepted payment method.
I don't have any deep interest in E-coins and have no wallet or invested time to learn.I feel e-check is convenient for me and I'd rather not use crypto

That sucks. I honestly hate paying with cryptocurrencies. I think they're conceptually a cool idea but every single one of the bitcoin merchants has a site that's designed by a developer with no understanding of how to make a user friendly interface.
And I thought the point of echecks was that they were automatically validated by banks. That's why so many places like to use them. How are customers getting around that?

No, Echecks are just like checks. You can write bad Echecks just like you can write a bad check. Insufficient funds and fake account numbers are the two biggest reasons. We would have been fine operating with Echecks and honest customers. The scammers ruined that, though. Literally tens of thousands of dollars in fraud we have to deal with every month. I've lost more faith in humanity the past couple years than I ever have before.
