Selling an item, buyer is using a check.

This is probably not relevant to this sub, but I would really love your guys wisdom!!

I am selling a pair of boots. The buyer said he can only use a check to pay me. Usually I use Paypal, so this has made me worry a bit.

I told him to send me the check, then I cash in it, therefore making sure the check does not bounce.

Is there anything that could go wrong, after I cash in the check?? Can he somehow scam me, and make the bank return the money?

Thank you for reading!
