User0083 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Bank details here??? Yes! It's safe!!! Do it! Lol I propose that as you're doing us a great favour we PayPal gift you. So you're not taking the hit and we pay the few quid it'll cost us to do that. Still a bargain for us and all we need is your email! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngill Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Agree with guest paypal is safest. If you dont have paypal email your bank details to j.g.gill@btinternet.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTR2Turbo Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I can't see much risk but if this thread is members only ask a mod to mark it as such and then I really can't see any risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David J Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hi, for me and I suspect others, it would be far easier to do a bank transfer. I am not registered with Paypal and I suspect others might not be as well. PS Thanks for organising this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I was thinking, to go with my eight valve low tech car, a postal order could be the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveH Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm inclined to agree that bank transfer is best and if this thread is members only it should be safe, your sort and account details are out there on every cheque you've every written!

User0083 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 If members only and bank details here, I'll do that. I assumed pay pal was a standard thing now and how membership was paid. Sorry all. You're correct though, what can someone do with bank details? Not much... But there's massive hype and fear around it, so I guess there must be a wives tale out there somewhere.

Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 JeffC only thing wrong with paypal there is a maximum withdrawal limit (ie to your bank) of 500 usd I think per month until you are paypal 'verified' what ever that is??

Bob Bobbleton Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 How about sending a cheque to your address if PayPal isn't your preferred method ? Seriously, you do not want to be passing bank sort and account codes around in this day and age... Can the Mods set up something in the online store for people only listed in the thread ? Then get it to Jeff in one lump to make it easier for him Beware as well that when your PayPal account goes over £2000 in one year, PayPal will invite you to upgrade and warn you they "may" share your details with tax people etc I'm happy to send my funds now ! Await feedback Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I did offer to Jeff that we could look at putting it through the WSCC account, but one of the problems is that PayPal takes around 4% straight off the top and it is already priced so as to not make a profit. So 4% would have had to be added. It's actually much better to pay by BACS or by Cheque when there are minimal charges. That's without even considering that Paypal froze the WSCC account for about 5 months last year and wouldn;t let us take any money out, happy for it still to go in of course !!!! We think that UK banks are bad, but PayPal are something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
