Yahoo Beta payment issues

A number of people on the different webmaster forums out there are complaining that their Yahoo checks are being made out to their usernames rather than their real names, particularly when the business information field is left blank.

The general consensus seems to be that to avoid the problem altogether your best bet is to fill in the business information field with your personal information (assuming you're not a business entity).

Other than that, you can do two things. Send the check back to yahoo and ask for a corrected one. Or most banks will let you deposit a check made out to "gumpersag" or wahtever as long as someone signs it over to you. Just sign your user name and deposit the check. Don't bother trying to cash it.
