In offering my daily specials and trying to get paid for them I have been playing according to Uncle Bill's old set of rules -- about any form of payment goes any time you want to pay. If somebody wanted to trade a 12 pack of home brew for a khukuri Uncle Bill would do it.

Times change.

As most know I'm overloaded right now and one of the reasons I am is because of CODs and "hold it until I can get money to you" orders. Guys won't pick up CODs so they get returned, and some are taking 3 to 4 weeks to pay if they ever pay at all. I can't be holding knives a month -- or even more.

So, it's credit card only from here on out. Will make exception for old customers I personally know. New folks are going to have a very tough time without a credit card.

Sorry. If everybody followed the rules and did the right thing I wouldn't have to be doing this.
 
Bill, are you still accepting PayPal?

Sorry you're having collection problems.
 
Hi there
Hope you are still taking Paypal, a pox on those who take advantage of your generosity.

That really bites, Uncle Bill:( I guess deadbeats go along with any sort of business. I've paid paypal the last couple times and that's not too bad. I really do appreaciate you allowing me to pay via "check's in the mail". Even if it cost me a stamp and made you wait 2 days to get paid, it was pretty neat to still be able to do business on a handshake like that. I guess times have changed. Leave it to a few deadbeats to ruin it for the lot of us. I'm sure we all understand, Uncle Bill. You should be dealing with your guts right now, not babysitting a bunch of grown men and women.

Yes. Paypal, visa and mc.
Do you have to join Paypal in order to use Visa or MC?
Or does this mean I can call Yangdu with my credit card number?

How do you go about joining Paypal anyway? I guess I need to do it in spite of my preferences.
Anyone have a link?
 
On occasion that someone has no CrCard,
they can usually pay back a friend to do the purchase for them.

? edit / update first post of sticky instructions ?

Yvsa,
You should be able to just go to www.paypal.com and sign up. i wasn't too keen on it either, but i joined because of all the raffles we've had in the cantina in the last month or so. its pretty easy to set up. Other guys might know more about it that myself. <----pay pal noob:)

Edutsi,

I use PayPal all the time, no problems. Go to https://www.paypal.com/ ***ONLY*** and only ***EVER*** use that URL. Also, know to never respond to any questions from them, they will know everything they need by the time you get registered.

https://www.paypal.com

the s of the https:
sets up security protocol from the initial connection.

They recommend typing it in each time
into a fresh browser window
[ie close web browser & reopen]
to avoid any problems with dirty tricks by thieves.

Thanks Uwinv and SG.:D
 
PS: I've changed to using PayPal instead of the website...deals are usually done within a couple of hours (since I won't use PayPal except from my home computer).

Certainly the deal is done well before the Khukri shows up at my door.
 
:(
Is there a way to do CC directly, I don't want to use Paypal again due to their practices and recent anti-gun policy changes... Too bad there is no big alternative yet. Or just eliminate holds and CODs, but still can pay by check sent immediately?

Second. I sincerely hope none of the Cantanistas have been doing this. :mad: Still, I more than understand your position Uncle and Yangdu. Take care of yourselves first, we'll get by.
 
No Edutsi...Premium is for receiving money. A regular base account is all that's needed for sending money.
 
Yuh nSuh?

You can use PayPal up to $2,000 before they want to be 'verified.' Verification involves giving them a bank acct. #. They use that to have the additional security of a bank having personal information on you.

Frankly, I don't get it. Seems after $2,000 of business, you would have a credit history with them, and they wouldn't need anything else. Seems conterintuitive.

When I asked the Cantina, folks here suggested when I got to that point...that I open a minimum balance account for PayPal's benefit, so that no great $ might ever be at risk.

PayPal is a no charge system, unless you are a seller. Then you get charged.

Be well and safe,

Kis
