When I put my little web store up, I set it up with Paypal.

Heard much crying and gnashing of teeth. They wanted to just use credit cards.

Okay.

I went through Internet Commerce Hell for about five days with getting that set up.

I'm getting more paypal transactions than credit card transactions.

Bogie need a hammer.

For what it's worth, I hate Paypal. I wouldn't do business with anyone who didn't offer any alternatives.

Paypal = Ebay = antigun.

But did you get more total sales as a result of adding the CC option? I realize with your website being in its infancy it may be hard to tell, but it's something to consider before you gnash your teeth all the way down.

And, I agree with HTG and RKL--I'd always pick another option over PayPal.

You have heard it from his own mouth. Bogie is an enemy of the people. And must therefore die. police

Before you string him up, shoot him, run over him with a Caterpillar tractor or otherwise cause his demise, let me say two things.

First - wait till he has filled all the orders for the stickers.

Second - I did not see anything for CC transactions when I ordered my stickers. Maybe I did not look in the right place. Maybe my eyesight is really bad. Maybe Bogie needs to resize that item.

But most importantly, wait till he has mailed me the stickers I ordered.

Oh, and when you do march on Bogie, be sure to bring torches and pitchforks. I hear he is a real traditionalist.

stay safe.

vaskidmark,

You are known to be a friend of the people, and so, your request will be honored.

But how shall we execute Bogie? As a capitalist oppressor, he must be hung with his own rope, so to speak. Please submit suggestions.

Choke him with his own stickers?

Well if we burn him just remember to bring the floppys.

I have (a) guns; and (b) lots of sticky stuff to wrap miscreants in...

Just took a look at the thing - I'm gonna turn off the paypal stuff. Folks see it -before- they see that they have the option of paying via credit card... I'm just irritated.

Here you go...

no, Bogie can be "irritated". Mike's job is to be "irritating", not "irritated"...

Polishrifleman · « **Reply #13 on:** March 20, 2008, 12:02:11 PM »

Don't shoot him, otherwise more explaining for the gun owners to worry about.

BTW, that Butt Paste would be a good idea to use as an apple in Bogie's mouth as he is marched hanging from a long pole through town. grin

Well, my ass IS chapped... I think that somewhere along the Upgrade Merry-Go-Round we've had for the past week, the dealie that lets me install/configure/uninstall payment modules got corrupted... So now I can't de-install the Paypal crap.

roo_ster · « **Reply #15 on:** March 20, 2008, 12:17:40 PM »

Slather him in adhesive stickers, front & back, then yank them off right quick.

AZRedhawk44 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 20, 2008, 12:31:37 PM »

Shave fistful, braid a rope from the hair, and hang him.

It'd serve him right. Fistful, I mean. rolleyes

Bogie, what did you finally decide to use for a shopping cart? And who are you using for your credit card processing?

I'm surprised that you get more orders through PayPal than credit cards. Since I made PayPal a secondary option by putting the PayPal button below the Checkout button, I've only had a few orders through PayPal.

Tie him up in front of the computer and make him look at pictures of Janet Reno and Rosie O'Donnell wearing nothing but his stickers......

I understand why you're irritated, but look at it this way: customers now have more ways to pay you, which means the customers that visit your sit that don't have PayPal, which is a good amount of people, can now buy from you.
