Paypal Subscription Thread

Bob Moseley (RIP) · #1 15-03-11, 01:08

Hi Hanno - following on from Colin's subscription suggestion and others along the way, could you create a thread where members could pay a subscription utilising Paypal. This is probably the easiest mode of payment available to most. Everybody buys magazines, subscribes to various clubs, etc. but MLU is an invaluable international resource that obviously takes time and financial resources. You should be able to gauge an annual subscription rate from the member's financial responses if this were set up.

I have used it to pay people internationally. It is a great way to buy stuff without incurring the usual bank fees, which can be a lot of money.
As an example I bought an item from one chap, and through paypal the cost to me was exactly the price plus freight.
For the second item the price including post was $125 Canadian. with bank fees added it was to cost me $160+ canadian
As it happened,about a month after transfering the money, the seller had only received most of his money. In this case,the exercise was such a disaster the bank here ended up refunding all my fees.
The point is the banksters cost us a lot of money, and Paypal has worked well for me so far.

Hi all - I have used Paypal for many years, mainly on Ebay, and it is the only way to conduct international transactions. I have never had a problem.

I too have used PayPal for years with no trouble at all. Infact I find them much more thorough than my bank in making sure every thing is secure.

What about an annual subscription date for all of us. Maybe D day or Geoff's passing day then it will almost become an automatic thing and a bit of a memorial.
