Our ability to process credit cards via a friend has been withdrawn, so I have removed the cap sales from ETS for the moment, and the ETS Sebenza will be available only via check or money order payment. If and when we can figure out an economical way to do credit cards again, which at this moment appears unlikely, then I'll reinstate them. Please don't bother suggesting we use PayPal. It'll be a cold day in Hell before I do anything with them.

Doug,

I use Nova Financial Services to process my credit cards. They have a great deal where you pay only a fee on each transaction, no monthly "service fees" or anything. The biggest expense I had with them is the credit card processing machine, that was $500, but they will spread out payments over time for you with no interest. Fees are "normal" about 2.8% of the sale plus $0.30 per transaction. 1-800-725-1243

Oh, and I second your "No Paypal" rule. While I DO accept paypal, it's a big PITA in terms of options, and of course, Paypal is NOT A BANK so you have little or no protection.

Best luck,

marty

Marty,

Thanks for the suggestion. We find ourselves between a rock and a hard place since the amount of the transactions are so small and relatively few that an investment of $500 would unlikely pay for itself in the near term. But, we are looking at some alternate options.

Does this affect those of us who had already ordered the autographed Pocket Survival Packs? Last I heard on this was about 10 days ago, Doug said the International Orders would be shipping within a couple of days.

If I need to send a money order, please let me know. (There was some uncertainty as to how much the international shipping was going to cost, so I couldn't have done that sooner. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> )
