[SBE] Ways to Pay

[Barry Thomas]

I appreciate everyone's sensitivity to our costs but you don't need to
overthink this..  I just wanted to know if it would be something you'd like
for buying books, merchandise, making donations, etc., (not necessarily
membership.and certainly not to the exclusion of any payment option we
already offer). A very informal survey of what you might like.  

 

The consensus seems to be that adding PayPal to our current payment options
for books, merchandise, etc., could be a good thing.    

 

Now that we know your opinion. the appropriate business research is being
done by our national office.  Our executive director John Poray will report
to the finance committee, the board and me regarding the business
implications.  If the business impact is negligible, I am certain the
additional payment option will be offered soon.  If not, I'll be sure to
tell all of you why we chose not to offer it.

 

Again, this is for books, merchandise, etc.  Using PayPal for membership is
a completely different issue that would be taken up in a different way.

 

Thanks everyone again for your input.  I am incredibly appreciative that you
are all a part of this roundtable and are helping us make a more responsive
Society.

I anticipate the additional transaction cost incurred by Paypal will result
in the upward adjustment of the price of membership for all members, new and
present. 

 

Regarding the survey, I do have a PayPal account and with the choice at hand
I would not use it for renewals.

How many of you have PayPal accounts?  If you could use Paypal to buy SBE
merchandise, or even pay for your membership, would that make a difference
for you?

You know we already take checks and credit cards.  Does the convenience of
Paypal make things easier or does it not matter?


Please reply to the list (as opposed to private replies).
