Not much call for manicures in ~the joint~
Now...I've posted a picture of one of my bo-bos, since you seem keen on wanted to see what my bo-bos look like. I don't ask you to post pictures of your bo-bos...but be that as it may...;-)
It sounds like a great idea, although I think you should set up the PayPal account, since it IS your web site.
Oh, and someone told me they tried www.the-hobbit-hole-net, and didn't see anything. I told them to try freeper. But maybe there should be some link on the www page?
Well of course! - We lived through the manicure through you! - We need to see it! - Next time take your camera so we can see Charlie Manson the Cosmetologist and capture the whole scene.
OK, I would be willing to do that. Would it be a Premier account or just the standard Personal? I looked at the Paypal site, and it looks like the benefit of the Premier account is that people can make credit card payments to us without needing a Paypal account. Is that correct? There is a a 2.9% transaction fee for that. How would this work, should we set up a seperate bank account to use? I'll check with my web host and make sure it supports secure pages.

Thanks, I have taken down the www home page and set it up as a redirect to the freeper site. I have basically lost interest in the www side of the site and will be taking it down for a while, except for the message board.
I think we want the top-of-line "business" account. That allows business names, and direct credit card payment from non-PayPal members. You could also set up a store in the non-profit section. They also have free shopping cart software.
I'm not sure you'll need secure services from your web host. You just have a link that redirects to the PayPal site. But the link pre-fills a lot of the user's info, making it quicker and easier to fill out the rest.
OK, this conversation is pushing all the wrong buttons for me today. I'll check back later when I feel more rational.
I feel like I'm being told that just because I didn't happen to be born in the right place (was born in Oregon, if anyone is counting), I'm not allowed an opinion on "your" music...though I thought I made it clear I wasn't talking about ALL of country, just some of what passes for country.
I might add that Bear is just as much a "Yankee" as I am - though also just as much a lover of the music or more. Yes, I know that was said in fun and I'm overreacting.
< /soapbox off >
I'm touchy where music is concerned, OK?
On my personal account I collect or add money to my PayPal account. Then I transfer the funds electronically to my bank account when I want them (takes a few days).
I'm not sure how the Paypal credit cards work.
I don't think it means you can't have an opinion, I think it just means your opinion doesn't mean hooey because you can't know what you are talking about! </SARCASM!!>
They would and should discount my opinion too, because I am a yankee, and I am not even a fan. It's yippie-hoo for "my team" and ribbing of those on the other side. It is "My team rules and the other team drools" behavior. Over something as unimportant as whether country music is whiny.... I think it is not threatening to anyone's being or pride in themselves.... Shouldn't be!
We give each other our axes/bows/swords all the time over friendly ribbing..... relax Rosie!
PayPal buyers give a credit card number to PayPal. This is used to make a charge, and electronically transfer it to the seller. The advantage is the seller does not have to be authorized by the credit card company, but can still display credit card logos. And the processing fee the seller pays is about half what credit companies charge.
Buyers can also "link" their credit card to a bank checking account. This provides for "instant" transfer of funds, because PayPal sends a debit to the buyer's bank account. If it bounces, PayPal charges the credit card, instead. PayPal makes money on the modest fees they charge sellers, and on the "float" (usually about 3 days) between the time the seller withdraws the funds, and they appear electronically in his bank account.
All-in-all, pretty slick, and a good deal all along.
Well, I don't actively seek them, but am prone to them, apparently. I go out to fight a simple battle and come face to face with a Witch King!
