Well, I most certainly would not accept Paypal were it not for the fact that I am forced to accept it as a condition of selling on ebay. They really are robbing gits and I can quite understand why Lee is reluctant to pay them any more than he absolutely needs.

Paypal might be free to Buyers but it costs the seller at least 5% of the selling price including postage while accepting payment with a debit card costs the seller around 25 pence.

I can understand why buyers like Paypal,  they have all of the advantages. It would be a different story if the charges were levied the other way round!

It's not the fees - it's the way the whole site is programmed...

To rewrite the code to accept PayPal and activate membership, which links into the main site and a custom written forum, will cost around £1,500.

I get possibly 2-3 requests a year for PayPal payment, so at best it'll take around 16 years to recoup the outlay.

Sorry

🙁

So why not accept a banktransfer? As Aymeric says, credit card is not common use in Holland, we prefer to pay cash. 👍 I have a (company) credit card but only use this card for business.

Bank transfer will be fine for me :) 

Lee, perhaps more people will become a silver/gold member if they can pay easilly. It doesn't have to be automatic, but perhaps you can make a Paypal account for it and just activate those (few) people by hand. or accept bank transfers.
