Payments via PAYPAL . Paying via Paypal means ordering from ME. They just offer a way of getting funds to me. I will still mail your order directly as if you had mailed me a check, but I will get the funds much more quickly, and you can use your credit card to pay. Yes, they keep a small percentage of the money as a service fee, but I am happy to offer you the convenience. The prices are the same as my normal mail order option, $16 per disc, shipping included. ($17 for the Parlor Guitar Book). For multiple items or special orders, you do the math. You might prefer to print out an order form for your own purposes if you want multiple items. Once at paypal just pay me the total amount for your order. But be sure to leave a message in the "Message to Recipient" box and tell me the items you are ordering and where to send the package. (You might be sending a gift to somewhere else, after all.) If you haven't used it before, Paypal is an online service that is very popular with the online auction sites, such as eBay (which now owns Paypal). At Paypal you can use your credit card to make money payments to anyone with an email address. You don't need to be a registered user to send money with a credit card. However, if you have used the service before you may already be registered, which makes it even easier and gives you more payment options. It's not terribly complicated, and is actually quite easy whether or not you are already a registered Paypal user. I am registered there to receive payments. If you wish to go the Paypal route, log on at their secure site
(note https), https://www.paypal.com/
and send payment to me, following their instructions sending payment to me by
typing or pasting in my usual address: I don't have a automated "paypal shopping basket" set up as of yet. Maybe soon. Remember -- at the Paypal site, be sure to tell me your "send to" address and which titles you are ordering in the "message" box, along with anything else you would like to let me know.
MORE ABOUT PAYPAL Be advised, that first time users of Paypal won't need to register, but you are given that option. Either way, you will be giving them some personal information, including your credit card number, if that is your payment method. When logging on to Paypal, beware of phishing and other scams. The true paypal site is secure and begins with "https" -- unscrupulous people would love to know your paypal password, so be smart about it. If you are wary of sites like Paypal, or are nervous about privacy, I understand. Paypal is a reputable organization, but typing in one's personal financial data at a website should always be done judiciously. That's why I am always happy to offer the "check by mail" option. But I have used Paypal both to pay and receive funds for years, and have never had a problem. If you wish, check out Paypal at https://www.paypal.com/ and take the demo before committing. Or just go back to the easy mail order option, to order with an envelope and a stamp from yours truly, Joel Mabus. Remember, ordering from me (by mail or Paypal) is the only way to get an autographed CD -- but you'll need to ask!
