[red raider 84]

hey I suck at the NFL and am totally willing to give the powers that be my 50 dollars..

[The Boys]

I'd like to see 100 in the contest this year?

Hey Boys, looking 4ward to this great contest. Great job running, and promoting! I had just one minor question concerning pay options. I mentioned the contest to a couple fellas at work, they were very interested, but hesitated with setting up a PayPal account. Asked about sending check, or money order instead? I don't want to complicate anything, but just thought I'd ask if any chance of other payment options? I am perfectly happy with all the rules as they are, so not stirring anything up

[FSU123]

why not just have them give u the money and then u pay for them with ur paypal lol

[oldluds]

Yes, a viable solution, that I of course considered, but thanks for the input nonetheless. To be honest, I myself would prefer an option other than PayPal, if given the choice. If you recall last year, the PayPal method was not without controversy. We had one extra person that hadn't paid, so we had to all send in proof seperately that we had paid, cause noone owned up to being the one that hadn't paid. Also, PayPal is not without a fee, so Jeff is incurring that cost, which he shouldn't have to. Just a thought, but if the person(say TheBoys) were to be the $ collector, and distributer of the winnings, his fee should be waived, the $50. That is how we run our fantasy league, the commisioner gets his entry free for running the show. And again, just a random thought here, not promoting any radical change, as this is what the thread is intended for, to get any thoughts in plenty of time for discussion. I truly am fine as things are currently if no change to system wanted. Thanks for listening.

I'll ask Jeff.........Checks are a real hassle, they sometimes bounce. Think Jeff liked the PayPal idea because the money was there in his account and it made it much easier then collecting checks?

How does Postal Money Orders and or Western Union/Moneygram sound as an option, (no personal checks)? We will allow that this year.............I'll put up a new enrollment thread soon.

Thank you Boys! That is an excellant option. Appreciate the consideration, and quick response time.

Thank you Boys! That is an excellant option. Appreciate the consideration, and quick response time.

This is an excellent payment option vs Pay Pal, Pay Pal has fees and the security is suspect.

For those that do pay with a Money Order you will want to remind them to place the screen name they use some where on that Memo Line.
