Accepting Payment Member Stores
What ways do the Store Members at AAPK accept payment? I'm thinking about a store but don't use PayPal. Thanks JWW
Re: Accepting Payment Member Stores
My wife has a store here on AAPK. In addition to paypal she accepts USPS money orders and personal checks. The knives are not shipped until the checks clear so that does create a bit of delay.

Re: Accepting Payment Member Stores
I would assume that you being the seller can accept any type of payment you like. After all, you're holding all the cards. That being said, Pay-Pal seems to be the easiest way.
For me personally, there have been many times where I would have bought a knife here, but didn't, simply because it wasn't easy for me to do so. I didn't want to take the time to write a check or get a money order. Just something to think about.

For me I won't write and mail a check and I'm not going anywhere to get a money order. Like Mike said PayPal is the easiest and fastest, two clicks and the transaction is done and your money is on the way. I do all my banking online, so I could have an electronic transfer of funds, but you would have to provide your banking info. I could just have the bank mail you a bank draft for the amount, but that takes time also. How much do you want to move inventory and how easy do you want to make it on your customers?

I don't do PayPal. If a seller doesn't accept a check or money order I don't purchase.
I have passed on knives because of this.

Re: Accepting Payment Member Stores
Thanks everybody. All points of view understood and agree with all. I'll have to make up my mind on how to approach this. Thanks JWW
Re: Accepting Payment Member Stores
Non Paypal guy here too. Yes it's more convenient and quicker but it's a mess of a system if you have an issue, and they have a limit on how much you can spend/purchases you can make at a time ... and then they flag that card so it can't be used. Paypal also actively tries to prevent buyers & sellers from negotiating their own transaction.
I send a M.O. by US Post Office certified mail so it requires a signature. Only had a problem once in hundreds of transactions, and the Postal Inspector doesn't think kindly of theft and mail fraud.
