Tom and I are planning on contributing this week... would it be better to send a check, if PayPal are being bastiges?
Lydia: But you are a vampire. Spike: If I'm not, I'm gonna be pissed about drinking all that blood.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Chi, I think it ends noonish, but I'd start elevenish, so that people would have time to get to the airport.
Jess, huh. No prob - we'll just make sure there's lots of goodies upstairs in the hospitality suite.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'll be at the ball game Sunday afternoon, so no BBQ for me.
I was going to Paypal, but if that's a problem, Julianna, can you e-mail me the new address so I can send a check? Thanks.
eta: Jess, that second link is pointing at b.org, not Mr. Poll.

I don't think there's any way of getting around the Paypal fees -- that's how they make money, after all.
Link is fixed now.

Does the Paypal fee depend upon what option you check when sending, i.e., quasi-cash vs. service?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Nope. It's 2.9% of the amount, plus $0.30 per transfer.
juliana, if the fees are getting to be a real problem, you might want to set up a regular account with a different e-mail address. Normally, there are no fees for receiving money, but you have a premium account, the major benefit of which is the ability to receive credit card transactions. The downside is a fee is charged for all transactions, regardless.
Otherwise, if people contributing want to take the fee into account, the equation is thus:
(V + 0.30)/0.971 = The amount you send so that juliana ends up with V

Yep - P-C nails it. That's why I always throw a few extra bucks into any paypal transaction I send out, to make sure that fee is covered.

Our wings are not tired
Yeah, last year we lost a little bit of money to the convenience of being able to do things through PayPal.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Nah - it's not a problem. I'll make up the fees - it is nice to be able to do everything through the intarweb. I'll look at setting up a different account tomorrow - gotta run now.
