PayPal

Folks, Please pay attention when you are checking out using PayPal. There is an option for Bill Me Later which is a financing thing run by PayPal, not us. If you don't want to use it, don't click on it. We have no control over how PayPal sets up their pages. I myself have almost clicked on it several times because it is right in your face with every PayPal transaction no matter who you are paying. Anyway, please pay attention. Matter resolved on our end.
 
Thanks for calling and straightening this out Jeff, for others' information I made two donations, the PayPal "BillMeLater" click that I didn't go through with was paid as well and came through with a $12 service charge. As Jeff said, be careful when using PayPal now, too bad, in years passed I have used PayPal with zero problems.
 
Conarb,

Congratulations, I just found out that you have won the Nigerian Mega Lotto. The lottery is backed by the full faith and fortune of the Royal Family. All you need to do to collect your winnings is send me the amount of the taxes, which in this case is $9,873.67. Please take immediate action as I have several awards to disperse before the funds revert back to the Family.

Ice, you forgot my PO Box number
 
That's odd. I have used Bill Me Later to buy a camera and computer. I paid them off within 6 months and didn't have to pay interest. They didn't hit me with any service charges.
 
Paul:

Bill Me Later jumped up like a popup blocking any reference to PayPal, I started to fill it out thinking I would get the PayPal option later, I filled out no credit information and had never used them before. I cancelled out thinking that I had not completed it so it wouldn't go through and received no conformation that it had gone through, a few days later I successfully got around it and paid by PayPal, this was the first I heard.

Jeff:

Thanks for reversing the charge, I did get confirmation immediately that the charge had been reversed. Today I bought a hygrometer from Radio Shack, I purposely used PayPal with nothing like what happened on this site, at the end of the transaction I was given a choice of PayPal or entering a credit card number, I chose PayPal with no problems and immediate conformations from both Radio Shack and PayPal. When you have time why not have your IT guy look into another PayPal interface?

I am limited where I can place HTML and not be subject to spam/hack attack so that is why it is on the blog and articles only.

I will again asks Paypal but once you link from here, it is out of our control and completely in Paypal's territory. I just love how PayPal charges us a fee when we give a refund!

Jeff
 
OK, just spent exactly 30 minutes on the phone with PayPal. They tried to remove that option but could not. This is beyond our control and there is nothing that I can do to get the Bill Me Later option to disappear. It is an option so if you don't want to use it, please pay attention and do not click on it. I myself have almost clicked on it several times when paying through several other websites but I have been lucky to catch myself.

I am hoping this issue is well covered and over at this point.
