Only if sellers insist on it, which is quite rare these days. And they'd better be reputable sellers, else I wouldn't bother. 

At the apartment building where I rent, most people pay the rent with an ATM pad in the office - just like doing a debit card transaction like in a store.

The last couple of months the office is open by appointment only.  They've asked that everyone pay rent with a dropbox cheque. 

Several of the younger residents then complained that they don't have chequing accounts and had no intent of getting one - so the building management told them they could use money orders instead! 

That's great, so now you make the residents go stand in a queue at the bank so that you can avoid them touching the ATM pad in the office...
