This is perfectly legal since it's a traceable transaction, and assuming the merchant can prove that they undercharged you, i.e. reciepts etc. I'm not sure what they could do if you paid with a check, but lolchecks, no one uses them anymore. They would probably turn you over to checksystems or a collections agency in that case.
