Have just sent my payment via Paypal

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #191 on:** December 07, 2011, 23:35:38 PM »

Gonna post this on chatting thread too.

I dont know if I will finish posting all payments tonight so to short cut to allow goods to be sent, the following have paid for their Items:

Me.....lol
Rosella
Poppy Seeds
princessmaizie
Sam
Tan
Trigger
sootyca
stuart
SueP
tabs
teresa
tess
tiggysmum
yogibear
zoonybean

So all items that the above have won can be sent out.

There are a couple of problems of identification that need to be sorted, which I am pming people about

We're lucky - our wee village post office never has more than a two person queue but then she does spend ages chatting to each pensioner (which is nice for them) while you have to eye up the vanilla slices and cream buns and drooling all the way to the counter!

I give up, I'm going to have to do it the traditional way and queue up pay at the Post Office If you do online postage you can just drop off at the sorting office with no queuing/faffing.

TBH Helen, a word of caution to those that want to risk walking past the post office queues to the "online drop off" point. I was in the queue on Monday morning. Main High St post office and waiting in the street for 10 mins before I reached the doors. Got served about 15 mins later.

I hardly dare describe the looks that peeps got as they walked past the queue to go inside

Am amazed they didn't turn to stone on the spot

Chap behind me shouted out more than once... "Where the hell does SHE think SHE's going"

Lots of Christmas spirit........ not!

Oh I never saw that list! Thank you and at least my own addition was correct

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #187 on:** December 06, 2011, 23:10:09 PM »

Here is the list as a pdf attachment for thos that missed it ......

Thanks Sam

A note for me and Tan the pdf and ss have an error against funkiechicken and first item price should be £13 plus £3, not a total of £19.

If anyone else finds and error please let us know

Will there be a list of each person's total to pay or should we just add this up ourselves and pay? I'm a newbie to this and am a bit confused if I should pay or wait!!

This list is on this thread. Reply #20 .... it's a pdf attachment http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,39851.0.html

I am just updating our list with payments and will be posting on threads tomorrow which items are paid and can be posted off

Thanks do much xxx

Don't rush Tan .... I've still got to wrap all these bloomin things up! lol. That's the trouble with having so many things you can't wrap anything till the end. Thank god I finish early on Fridat ... so guess what I'll be doing Friday night! woo hoo.

Tan · « **Reply #183 on:** December 06, 2011, 22:44:22 PM »

Helen Hun the bloomin royal mail have decided to implement a new system so close to Xmas and the whole online postage and smart stamp which is what I use for shop went down for 3 days last week and it's been awful since. The new system can't cope with the amount of people using it and I am continuously get the server busy error grrrr!!

Awful at this time and si many orders

Anyhoo

I am just updating our list with payments and will be posting on threads tomorrow which items are paid and can be posted off

Thanks do much xxx

Oooh no!! Hope it won't take too long to get them back.

I think Ive been spending too much time on here - I'm really excited about receiving my box of cat poop!

I give up, I'm going to have to do it the traditional way and queue up pay at the Post Office

If you do online postage you can just drop off at the sorting office with no queuing/faffing. Oh well, it's all for a good cause I spose

Who is going to be the lucky receipient of the poop?

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #178 on:** December 06, 2011, 19:54:14 PM »

I think that just about sums it up

Just spent ages preparing and inputting all the info for Royal Mail online postage, got to checkout, put my card details in... poof

Got an error message, no big deal, all my labels should still be there and I can just checkout again? Wrong

funkiechicken · « **Reply #177 on:** December 05, 2011, 20:19:14 PM »

I was just researching the Paypal thingy (thats the technical term

) when its already been answered - people are too quick for me! lol

But I think the percentage does go down depending on the amount the account has received for Purchase Payments into an account within the month?
(Thats how I read it anyways lol)

Here's the link so the Admin will have an idea what the fee's may be

(or incase I read it wrong

)

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #176 on:** December 05, 2011, 20:06:29 PM »

Thanks Helen and thats why we like all paypal bids from the same person to be don together

The only exciting thing about the spreadsheet at this time of night and after about 8 hrs work is that I can tell you the total is looking rather good

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #175 on:** December 05, 2011, 20:02:27 PM »

Paypal charges 3.4% plus 20p per transaction, if people were kind enough to add a little extra then even more dosh goes to the needy cats.

Obviously nobody is expected to,it's completely optional - people have been so generous already

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #174 on:** December 05, 2011, 19:51:44 PM »

no its not mary

Its a set fee depending on the amount I think plus 3.85% roughly.

I have bloomin seen it somewhere recently but dont know where, surely some one uses Paypal??

If any one knows please post here cos I am desperately trying to finish the spread sheet so Tan can post a list tonight and a total can be posted.

NO money is supposed to be sent until the list is posted

maryas · « **Reply #173 on:** December 05, 2011, 19:47:58 PM »

Not sure but I think it's 10%. It will probably tell you on your Paypal Account Q and A section.

Mary

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #172 on:** December 05, 2011, 19:46:21 PM »

I was hoping someone wouldnt ask lol cos I dont know either.................oops I think its in the auction instructions........off to look

AliCat · « **Reply #171 on:** December 05, 2011, 19:42:09 PM »

How much are the fees? Just so we know how much to add. Sorry I have no idea about these things.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #170 on:** December 05, 2011, 15:55:44 PM »

When the spreadsheet is finished sometime tonight there will be a list as usual.

Anyone who is paying by Paypal who wants to add a bit extra to cover the charges is very welcome

Please do not pay until the list is up cos I know I havent found all mine yet and I am involved the bloomin spread sheet.

Just incase people havent seen, ss done, is for me and Tan LOL

Peggy C will you please contact Tan as a matter of urgency.

I think that covers all questions and would be grateful for your patience.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #169 on:** December 05, 2011, 15:21:51 PM »

Fairly sure there will be, I'm gonna hold off on paying just in case as bound to have missed something

Quote from: Liz on December 05, 2011, 12:51:06 PM

Are we having a list of who got what just not sure what the heck I bought

I think so. I think I know what I won but might have missed something, so hanging on a bit. Fairly sure I read somewhere there'd be a list, but could have misinterpreted it.

Dawn F · « **Reply #167 on:** December 05, 2011, 13:00:24 PM »

I was the same Liz, I just went through all the auction threads - hopefully didn't miss anything!

Am amazed you went through that on an empty stomach Ann

I'm a complete bag of nerves and need another drink. I hope Nickynoo will forgive me in the fullness of time

but the Chitty Nora bag and the artist portrait were my top two must haves. I've already shown the state of my 20 year old cat carrier bag and dearly would love a portrait of my darling angel Fred who passed away in July.

Seems I've come away with quite a haul

despite last minute panic measuring Boris neck to check that the Sherpa collar will fit him

Fabulous auction as always. Well done everyone
