Why PayPal Payments? PayPal payments are safe and nothing, other then paying cash in person, is as fast & easy. Payments are received in seconds, allowing immediate shipment, I can transfer them to my bank account just as fast and it's simply not worth the time or inconvenience to accept anything else. Cheques & money orders pose a risk, delay shipments a week or more while in the mail and cheques can delay shipments for weeks longer while waiting for them to clear, especially if not from Canada. Simple mistakes make them un-cashable, like having a money order made payable to the item purchased, rather then myself, and they require a trip to the bank and waiting in line to cash them. And don't bother asking about using one of the other instant money transfer methods similar to PayPal as I have better things to do then waste time learning about and doing what's required to use each one just to receive a few dollars & make it a bit easier for those that prefer to use something besides PayPal. After all, it's not as if I must sell my goodies in order to live and feel I do enough, as it is, with the hours spent listing my items to help others find a bargain or item unavailable elsewhere. But contact me if PayPal is more then simply an inconvenience as I understand there are sometimes special circumstances and have made a few exceptions for businesses, those from a country where PayPal is unavailable and those without a credit card or bank, that keep their money in a sock and can only pay cash. (Yes, there really are some that don't use banks and keep their money in a sock, or where ever, just as there are some that have mailed cash and have sent their credit card type, number, expiry date and security code in an unsecure email message.) How to make a Payment . . . . . .
in my reply to your enquiry - or - send me your PayPal email address and request a PayPal invoice. (PayPal invoices are no longer automatically sent as many have and use a different email address for PayPal) After I reply and provide shipment cost, payment total and email address to send a PayPal payment to, or after an invoice is sent, if payment is not received within 5-7 days your item(s) will be offered to the next person requesting them. Contact me if additional time is required to make a payment as I do not mind holding items and a small down payment will only be requested if, and when, another request is received. In practice, when multiple requests are received for the same item within 14-20 days, I usually contact and give those who enquired earlier a chance to purchase the item before offering it to others. But rather then take a chance and see your payment returned, it is best to let me know that you will be completing a purchase if more then a week is required to make payment. |
