> What kind of experience have groups had with Paypal?
PayPal has been very, very good for us.
We've had nothing but excellent service from them both
in individual product sales and the "Donations" feature.
It's very easy to add new 'products' and to database the
results of sales from their reports. (I use FileMaker)
They also have probably the best security backing in the
industry second only to Amazon. They have an entire staff
dedicated ONLY to security. I've worked with them on
numerous occasions tracking and fighting spam and
phishing and they are always highly responsive.
BE AWARE:
MAKE SURE TWO OR MORE OFFICERS ARE IN CHARGE of administering
the IDs and passwords -- as well as tracking the accounting
of sales. Another MUG organization sadly suffered a FATAL
disaster by entrusting the PayPal account to ONE officer.
He changed the id and password to effectively LOCK the
organization out of the account AND the checkbook
after pilfering all of the funds.
:-O
Once you are locked out of the account you CANNOT get back in
short of a lengthy and potentially costly litigation process.
PROTECT YOUR GROUP ASSETS WITH MANAGEMENT REDUNDANCY.
(PayPal allows a second administrator with separate ID and Password.)
