Strikers. (I'll never learn.)

mmmm - Ged - is your title for this thread becoming truer and truer???

 

[Granite Head]

Good question, and one I've asked myself!

I think (but I'm not sure) that if you're purchasing goods, then the seller gets charged the fees, which amount to 3.4% + 20p. (e.g. if the goods cost £5, to make sure ged actually receives £5 I would have to send £5 + 17p + 20p = £5.37). I'm not aware of any way for the buyer to elect to pay the fees. In this case I think we're going to need to add the fees to the amount we pay to Ged, else the fella is going to lose out, which isn't good for ged's bank balance, or for the future of group buys!

If anyone knows the score, please tell!

You can send it "Personal" - "Money Owed" and elect to cover the fee - that way you can be sure of the amount ged receives.

which is against Paypal policy and i think the Forum policy as it is defiantly Goods

usually ther isnt a fee for Personnal payments and you dont get the persons Address as there is no goods to send to it

you do get a fee if the money comes totally from a credit card if there is money in the paypal account there is no fee either way the fee is to cover an immediate draw on the card

I assume GED has asked for the amount he wants to be paid and has taken fees into consideration

I usually round up as if you d o the exact amount

as in Cave dewllers example below

I think (but I'm not sure) that if you're purchasing goods, then the seller gets charged the fees, which amount to 3.4% + 20p. (e.g. if the goods cost £5, to make sure ged actually receives £5 I would have to send £5 + 17p + 20p = £5.37). I'm not aware of any way for the buyer to elect to pay the fees. In this case I think we're going to need to add the fees to the amount we pay to Ged, else the fella is going to lose out, which isn't good for ged's bank balance, or for the future of group buys!

you pay £5.37 they then take 3.4% of that 18.26p and 20p = 38.25p fees means the seller gets £4.987

not a lot at this end but can catch you out if its a lot of items and or a higher value

It appears that at least one member of the group buy has sent a PM to me which I have not received.

If you have sent a PM to me with address details etc. as requested in my post number 61 in this thread and NOT had a reply from me with my Paypal address please send the PM once again.

 

[ged]

The person using the forum ID "Rich_" has been dropped from the Group Buy.

If that person is reading this, I do hope that you will grow up soon.

I'll drop you a pm in a moment once I've filled the form in. Sorry for the delay - didn't realise that it was ready to move on a bit!

 

[Chiseller]

Sorry Ged, I must have misread somewhere ? I thought you were pm ing the form cost etc ?
I don't have paypal account but can pay via paypal if I get a link ? Or bank transfer ? Cheers

I believe I sent the money as soon as I saw you were accepting payments! I'll check paypal now. Sorry if I haven't mate, I totally thought I had.

EDIT - Aye, payment is coming up as completed. Could you have another look at your end? If not, PM me and I can give you the payment details and such.

The note on the payment was "Hey buddy. Smith28, Sam Smith here. Cheers"

.....shaggystu 4 -- Stuart, if you like I can bring these to the next meet just to make sure you turn up. ......

blackmail........i like it!

i'll take you up on that ged, been waiting all week for someone to buy something off e-bay so i don't have to put real money in the paypal account(internet money's different to real money in case you were wondering). if i can give you cash when i see you that'd be great extra excuse to go camping's never a bad thing either, but don't tell gemma i said so

 

[johnnythefox]

i sent a pm i hope i have it correct

many thanks JTF

I've been in touch with the seller by PM today, he's waiting for a delivery and expects it to be another couple of weeks or so. Customs might (a) slow things down a bit and (b) reduce the discount he can offer to the Group Buy but we'll find out about that when the time comes. Mark tells me that the ones he sells are the same as the firesteel.com ones mentioned by Jim from Hawaii.

Hi everyone
The Super Alloy Strikers have finally arrived. I kid you not, this order was b****y hard work. My bank took nearly 3 weeks just to send the money to the supplier (red tape and all that c**p), and as for UK customs … well god bless every one of them!
Although the purchase prices of everything I ordered has shot up in price, I’ll shoulder the increase I am going to have to make and honor the old price for anyone on this Forum, but only for short while, perhaps for a week or so. If you contact me directly by phone or email I can quote you on the old prices and do a better deal on P&P.
Cheers for your patients,

Just caught up with what’s going on … the early bird catches the worm!
I’m here if you need any more.

I'm glad I got in ahead of the rush and bought mine early.

It will be worth the wait folks.

I'm baffled now I thought Ged was organising this group buy ? That's who my pm with details went to.
