Bags are officially on sale now.

[Andy Hamilton]

The bags are now on sale as they should be delieved soonish, well have a look at the page if you like.

excellent idea!
- if you want a really simple way of selling online, there is always the dreaded "Paypal Buy Now" button system - very simple to set up using ordinary html - you do lose on the charges though, 20p per transaction plus 3.9% (about 40p total on a £5 bag) - I believe "Nochex" an English company do something similar

Isn't there a 'free' paypal account that you can use to collect money from people with cleared funds in their own paypal account... always used to be...

[Andy Hamilton]

NO chex you have to initially pay £50 and still pay a commision. I am seeing if we can sell the bags first by the old mail order method and passing on the saving to our members. We were going to sell the bags for a bit more but I thought it better this way.

[Shirley]

makes sense to me!! Why line other peoples pockets.

Tis free to pay using paypal but if you want to take out money of your paypal account, then there is a charge for this?

[Andy Hamilton]

There is not a charge for you to pay or take money out of your paypal account if you have over £50 to take out. - imagine how much they must earn in interest on all those £49.

Also if you are using there service to collect payments there is a charge like martin says. It means I would have to sell the bags for nearer £4. which I think is too much.

Do you have a picture of the bags, or even a mock up of what they will look like.

[Andy Hamilton]

Sort of they will look like this

[Andy Hamilton]

Bags are selling like cold cakes, well we still need to sell quite a few more to break even only 17 have been sold, so tell you friends about them (please).

[Tensing]

Can I have 2 please, cheque on its way.

[hedgewizard]

Ho yuss,I'll take 4. Cheque on the way. Don't worry if you're left with some of these, just remind everyone coming up to Xmas and they'll sell through easy. I can think of a few people would love one!

*update* can you post how much to add for larger amounts... say up to ten? I can't find my cheque book *pouts* but I'll get that off to you at the weekend.
