I thought you could “checkout” as a guest. Meaning you don’t have to have a paypal account. Maybe it has changed.I have a friend, Ben (YankeeDollar) who wants to pay his yearly Site Supporter $20 fee.
He doesn't have PayPal & has to send a check to TX, which takes time to get processed.
Can I use my PayPal account to pay his Site Supporter $20 yearly fee?
I guess that would mean if I were at Ben's house and he went to the payment option, enter my PP information.I would think you could use any PayPal account as long as one was logged into the proper INGO account (the one being paid for) when purchasing.
Ben must've been told or thinks for some reason that to "check out as a guest," you have to send a check to Texas.I thought you could “checkout” as a guest. Meaning you don’t have to have a paypal account. Maybe it has changed.
NO. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT TO PAY BY CREDIT CARD!I guess that would mean if I were at Ben's house and he went to the payment option, enter my PP information.
To send a check to TX you just send the check with your screen name on it. But only as a last resort with the express direction of TK,Ben must've been told or thinks for some reason that to "check out as a guest," you have to send a check to Texas.
That is what I understand he is telling me.
I will tell Ben.NO. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT TO PAY BY CREDIT CARD!
Checkout as a guest and use a credit card. Thats all. No PP account needed. (unless he wants the money to come directly out of his checking account, then he does)
Putting a check in the mail is probably more of a risk these days than using credit card, especially since credit card is fraud protected. As long as one has alerts on transactions and isn't using a debit card, I'd recommend it.Cameramonkey posted:

Just got off the phone with Ben & he told me last year he sent a check to the address that was listed on INGO for payment, but it came back to him (old/wrong address).
He found out the correct updated address & resent the $20.
However, he lost that address, & wants to verify the correct address anyway, after his experience last year.
I was correct in assuming he doesn't put is credit card/bank info out on the web.
Those darn old people, haha!
Who is "TK," to get "express direction of," before sending a check?
Good Points!Putting a check in the mail is probably more of a risk these days than using credit card, especially since credit card is fraud protected. As long as one has alerts on transactions and isn't using a debit card, I'd recommend it.
I feel the same way about PayPal, so I understand how he feels.I will tell Ben.
I know he's adamantly opposed to the concept of PayPal,
&
perhaps he doesn't want to put his credit card information online because he's old and old people like to do things the old way, ha ha!
