I have no creditcard but would like to be a paying member. How do you want the cash?

Good question. I know quite a few people who don't have
credit cards. Also - what if you don't want to use PayPal?
Is there a another way of getting the money to you or is
PayPal the only way?

I don't think I trust Paypal, I only learnt of it a couple of weeks ago and I'm still on the fence on whether to risk it. I know its only a small amount.

I'll open my NUS e-wallet, maybe I can get some moola your way

If it helps your comfort level, I have used PayPal for several years now for transactions from $5.75 to $650.00, including payment here, with no trouble. They were even quick to stop a charge when I mage the error and used the wrong credit card.

Peace.

I had a bad experience with PayPal so I
don't trust them. That is why I asked. :)

I'm still not sure about Paypal, I'll go into my Student Union Office and see if I can put money into my NUS Wallet and send some moola Dave's way

I put off making a donation (now called subscriptions) because
at first I thought PayPal was the only way to pay. I was very
glad to see I could also mail it (which I did on Sat. 60¢? Yikes!
messed up on the amount of postage). I was a bit confused by
the new post (Avatars, Signatures & User Titles) as there was
no mailing address. Glad to know that mail is still a viable option
for payment. :D

PayPal is definitely preferred, because it's easier for me to manage. I'm fairly certain you don't need a PayPal account to pay via credit card. Even so, the only problems with PayPal I've heard of are people whose accounts have been terminated with large amounts of cash in them. If you're just sending money, it's not an issue.

But, of course, I won't turn down cash.

Take care,
Dave

Because of the $ sign before the 2.99, I gather it are US dollars Bachus. :)

Well, $ is for any dollar-ed currency (eg. Canadian, Australian), but yes, that's intended as being 'merican.
