anyone that would order something online from ANYONE without PayPal buyer protection is being rather reckless, unless it's your trusted friend - 3% fee is a lousy $6 - what's the big deal about $6?

I'm still in for the unit and consumables, but I would prefer to stick to paypal. Obviously I would pick up the 3% fee..

Ok, I'll look at using PayPal as an option and to figure out a way to avoid being docked for fees and consult with my accountant about the 1099. If you go PayPal, I'll figure out exactly what I'm charged with and simply tack on the fee.

Be right back...

Do you have anything to do with this? You aren't buying, you aren't selling... just hanging around causing trouble? Every thread needs a peanut gallery, I guess...

Is it possible to send usps money order from Canada? I was planning on picking up units in US to keep shipping simple and bring back to Canada. Would prefer PayPal myself so I don't have to make that trip multiple times. Or can you send from online website somehow?

You can get a Canada post postal order for US, but lots of people in the US don't understand how they work so they won't take them.

I'm in for paypal option.

If I am correct on this, when we send money to you from paypal (using credit/debit) we are prompted to either pay the fee ourself or pass it on to you... so if you are just receiving the money from us --rather than "selling us" or "billing us" no fee should ever be put on you.

You should probably check the PayPal User Agreement which everyone agreed to when they signed up.

https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full#4

Section 4. Receiving Money
4.6 No Surcharges. You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as a payment method. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services, as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge and is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-PayPal transactions.

If this is true he won't have to worry about that rule.

I'm still in either way. I'd rather PayPal but you're the one doing all the work and if you want money orders then you're the boss. Thanks again Aquamoose!

You may to re-read what we are talking about... This is Paypal's fee of 2.9% for receiving payment for goods or services.

QUOTE: "Goods and services – Purchase payments:

There’s no fee to use PayPal to purchase goods or services. However, if you receive money for goods or services (such as from selling an item on eBay), the fee for each transaction is 2.9% plus $0.30 USD of the amount you receive."

This is called sending as a gift. There is no fee when using a PayPal balance or bank account for domestic transactions. Gifts do not have the buyer purchase protection.

Ah makes sense -- did not know that...

So we'd basically have to make 2 transactions? 1 (say 200$) with the fee, then gift the fee back or he inflates inital price and just withdraws the extra from his paypal balance

You don't have to worry about the paypal fee. The cost of the item is just increased to cover it. There are no other purchase price so nothing to compare.

I'm in. I would prefer Paypal, but will make it work.

If any Canadians from the lower mainland want to pick up in the US to save brokerage, I am in Bellingham and will help out.

I'm still in and would prefer paypal, in fact if the price is still around $200 I might go for 2 units (sure would make a nice birthday present for my father) and a handful of consumable kits.

Its two hundred dollers that could buy a crib or start stocking on diapers or wipes, or money to go into remodiling the spare bedroom to make it the baby room. Who's to know what gonna happen in the next nine months. As this is our first she could be put on bedrest later on. All Iknow what.I got to do is to make sure I have what is needed for when the baby comes. I watched my half brother and his wife be irresponsible for 9 months and a week before there baby came they were cryingfor help cause they didn't buy a single thing. I'm gonna make sure I'm prepared. Does that answer your ? Sir.
Nice reply, congrats on the news of a little one sounds like your going to make a great dad!

Hell, I'd do cash if that makes it easier. USPS money order or paypay works. In for consumables still. I'm guessing you need to hire a couple of kids for the sorting/packaging of consumables. Add that into the cost.
Aquamoose, thanks for picking this up.
Aquabob, thanks for starting this up.

There are 40 pages, who's handling this big order if the OP is NOT?

I think the Mod need to update the first post or whomever handling the order should start a BRAND NEW thread. So far, it seem a very unorganized record keeping.

The thread is fine. Any changes would be premature. And you don't have to go back many posts to see who is currently carrying the ball.
Once there is a deal, then maybe a new thread would be warranted.
