Change in payment methods

moviedrome · 25-11-09, 08:54 PM

All,

We've decided that as cheques are being fazed out anyway we will no longer offer this as a payment method from 1 January 2010 (this is just a heads up to warn you of the change)

We've also decided to offer paypal to UK users, there's no reason why we shouldn't as we're not one of the types of schemes it describes as forbidden so it's now an option on My Gift.

Paypal, awesome!

digger600 · 25-11-09, 09:00 PM

You can get a straight bank transfer (BT). You give them your account sort code and account number and they pay the money straight into your account. Or there is an option called moneybookers which I think is similair to paypal but I have never used it.

just remember when you get cash from paypal they take a % just something to consider.

nice extra tho FJ

I've never used Paypal to receive cash before so have no idea what the charges would be like.

Any clues and examples ?

Bank Transfers are the way, I hate gaypals 3.4% fees.

williamblah · 25-11-09, 11:10 PM

**rider900** · 26-11-09, 07:45 AM

Wow that's brilliant thanks FJ and you will pay the fees??

Thank you!!

cono1717 · 26-11-09, 07:48 AM

I think it is if you send it as a gift paypal takes no fees.

moviedrome · 26-11-09, 07:51 AM

Well they've been charging me fees on gifts for long enough!

cono1717 · 26-11-09, 08:32 AM

Hmm how odd, maybe just my imagination but I am sure I have sent money as a gift and paid no fee.

moviedrome · 26-11-09, 08:36 AM

Yeah but then the person receiving gets charged the fee

cono1717 · 26-11-09, 09:00 AM

Maybe you do what the mum does on the Vicks advert...

Stomp and scream till you get your way

bmh16 · 26-11-09, 09:06 AM
