    Paypal

    Anyone use/know anything about this? Was checking their website and it seems to be free - I presume they take a percentage commission though or something? Does it pay straight into a bank account then? Setting up a UCD Supporters' Club website and want to have the option of selling scarves, keyrings, fanzines, etc. through the site - is this a good option?

    Any advice appreciated!

    I only use it for buying stuff and setup an account in a few minutes.
    It was developed by the guys on ebay to facilitate online auction sales, as far as I know.
    I've never had a problem with it and neither has my bank.
    Millions of people use it so you'd have heard if it was dodgy.
    Good luck with the merchandising.

    Apparently 4% charge on transactions. Well FC United were asking that people paying up on their pledges kept it in mind anyway.
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    There are anti-paypal sites out there, but I've never had a problem with it! Again only paying, not recieving!

    I use it on athlonetownfc.com, never had any problems with it. You set it up with your bank account. Whenever you receive a payment it goes to your Paypal account first. To transfer it to your bank account is easy - they charge €1 if it is less than €100, transfer is free if it's over €100. Sending money is free, to receive it you pay 3.4% plus 30 cent or something like that - so if it's a big payment they make their money on the 3.4%, if it's a small payment, they make it on the 30 cent.

    Use it too but some record sellars won't touch it - they prefer bidpay. Great for e Bay allright.
    Just reminded me Ray - must get some of those Town polo shirts I saw in the club shop - the one's I have are from Billy Bretts days.

    Cheers for that! Good to see it works for what I would imagine are small-volume websites too (Athlone one). Setting up the site at the moment - if you like STIG, you'll love this! - and will post the link up when the site's operational.

    Yep!

    More issues than any Irish fanzine ever. (Damn Shels for not making us the longest-running ever... )
