Payment Methods

Pay by PayPal (fastest)

I've been somewhat critical of PayPal in the past. And, they do have their problems, but I have gradually discovered that the risks are almost all at my end (the seller), and not at yours. Use your existing PayPal account, or your credit card, to pay for your order.

Using PayPal is the fastest and easiest for me, and gives you the best chance of having your order ship the same day.

Pay by Credit Card (fast)

Use your Visa, MasterCard, or Discover card to pay. Enter your CC online. I'll retrieve it from the server, and process it through ProPay. Your CC number is encrypted as soon as you enter it, and is stored that way on the server. I retrieve them, and purge CC numbers from the server as soon as they are retrieved, so there's no large database credit card numbers.

Pay by Check, via USPS mail (slow)

Send me a check, by mail. If it works for you, it works for me. After several thousand checks, we've only had three or four bounce, and only one of those didn't clear when we redeposited it.

Usually, we get mail three or four days after you put it in the box.

But, that's usually. Sometimes it takes much longer. Mail from the Pacific Northwest (OR, WA, n. CA) takes longest, probably averaging 7 - 8 days. But, one check from Portland took 12 days! Surprisingly, mail from Hawaii usually gets here pretty quickly.

Pay by Check, online! (fast)

(Not enabled yet, but it sounds cool. Let me know if you think so, too.)

Send me a check, online.

Write a check, enter it into your check book, and then enter it via the pay-by-check process. You have to enter the MICR numbers at the bottom of your check, but it processes through your bank exactly as if you mailed me one.
