Paying for albums via paypal?

[Saul]

Hello travis. Love the webpage , love the forum , love the music you guys are making!

Quick question , is it possible or will it be possible in the future to pay for albums from your webpage via paypal? I hope this is something you will consider and implement in the future.


Thanks in advance.

Hopefully Travis will see this and respond.

I was thinking maybe I could even pay you personally through paypal directly if you have a paypal account Travis?

Please respond.

Sorry to say Saul but paypal adds to the cost of CD\'s. We have are own merchant account here and have been in business for years using it, we have no need for paypal. Is there some reason you don\'t want to use our system.

I really dont know. I dont use a credit card and I\'m not a fan of getting a money order to send. Guess I\'m spoiled by the convinience of paypal.

I dont really understand what you mean when you say you have your own merchant system , sorry.

I\'m also sorry if I\'ve wasted your time. Bucket rules.

Saul,
Your not wasting my time, it\'s a totally legitimate question.
Paypal is kind of a low rent merchant banking system set up for people who couldn\'t get real merchant banking accounts to sell there widgets on ebay. It\'s become big business now, so much so that ebay bought it some time ago. It still costs a lot more to pull transactions through it and that cost gets passed on to the customer. When you buy through a business with a visa, amex or mastercard merchant account your purchases are protected from loss from fraud among other things.

Folks, I was at first reluctant. Would have preferred PayPal too. Travis convinced me. Works fine. Trust the man. Buy directly, keep prices low.

Well I guess I\'m out of luck because I banished credit cards a long time ago.  :-/

Maybe I will go the money order route? Just wanna be able to get all these buckethead goodies that are so readily available here at tdrsmusic!!!

Anyways , thanks for the replies. Much continued good fortune to all of tdrsmusic!!
