Geo, have you guys ever thought of selling PBW gear? like hats, t-shirts, and such?

Actually, I have thought about it. I actually have been checking into it a little today. I might have something more on that topic in the next few days.

You probably don't want to be getting merchandise from down here in Tasmania, but for the record I work for a company that does stuff like logos on caps and shirts etc.

Maybe there could be licensed franchises to produce stuff locally for the international players?

I don't trust 'em either.
So I pay it by credit card and make sure it gets to the other end before paying the credit card... just to be safe.

I understand people have concerns with Paypal. Fortunatly as far as I know I've never had any problem with them. Either with donations to PBW or my own personal use buying stuff online. I think the main problems people have had with them in the past is when thet have gotten ripped off by a sellor, Paypal was less helpful than they could have been in resolving the dispute. That shouldn't be a problem for anybody with PBW donations I hope.

As far as alternatives, when we started taking donations on PBW there were some similar services out there, but I think Paypal is really the only one left of any consequence. Google's version seems to have gone away, or perhaps they haven't got it off the ground yet. I can't find a link to it anyway.

For a while I had a PO box and I took donations by mail. We never got enough to offset the cost of the box rental. If anyone really, really wants to send a donation and can't get past their aversion to Paypal, I can give you my address in an email. I understand in this day and age it's not really hard to find someone's personal information so if someone really wanted to they could find my name and address online. But I don't care to post it and make it easier on the spam bots.
