Sounds like many people are using PayPal as a budgeting tool. Here's an idea: get yourself one of the new Field Note with ledger ruling and a fountain pen to keep track of purchases and sales.
That's a bit uncalled for...! What is the matter with you? Have you got a new job with Square? "SALES PREVENTION'S OFFICER"
No one was knocking Square, only mentioning their preference for PayPal as a purchaser. As this thread has moved along it seems all this is about is the charges and controls that PayPal insist their vendors use. I understand that, and I was starting to get some insight to why Rick Krantz wanted people here to use Square. It sound's like PayPal are squeezing their smaller vendors and not playing fair... understood.
Comments like yours, and "
Those that are PayPal only, enjoy looking from the outside." really don't do a lot to help your cause.... it just drives people away because its negative, and as such irritating. If you believe that our purchasing choice is limited in anyway, then think again..... I makes me think what kind of vendors are Square recruiting that instead of just excelling, have to knock the competitors. Most vendors try and offer multiple methods of payment, they don't make negative comments about the services they don't use, especially to their potential customers, how would that ever help create sales? I would rather listen to the reasons why Square is more beneficial for me to use over PayPal...
Someone else gets my money now, thats fine....... I have started buying about 3 to 9 pens a week and recently started purchasing from here....I can only see my purchasing increasing.....PayPal are trying to assist me, they haven't said anything negative about Square !!!
I'm doing quite well, either way. I am not sure why you have taken the view of Square that you did. Quite honestly, I have had them as a tool to use for several years, and over time, Paypal has in fact become quite restrictive. I simply listed no paypal in my listing, and it was asked of me several times why not. Quite frankly, I was more than well enough leaving it where I did.
Already, I believe you have made your choice in regards to my business model, and found my comments negative and irritating, and obvious to me you don't like my payment options.
Sad, that I think you would be more than pleased with my offerings, especially if you are new to purchasing pens, and WOW, at a 3-9 pen clip, and with that amount increasing, that sounds like a lot.
I wish you luck on your endeavors, I'm not going to try to convince you, or even speak the virtues of Square anymore. I don't think as me as seller and you as buyer, we would be a good fit. Maybe a bad choice on my part, but it seems with the purchases you are making at this point, you have a dedicated seller base, and probably don't need my selection of goods.
Thank goodness I have a real job, (and not with Square!) and don't rely on the pen sales for anything but to buy more pens, because I certainly would regret not putting forth 110% to ensure I did not let a possible customer escape.
( I had to laugh, and think how funny would it have been if I said my job was with Paypal? lol....)
take care! Best of luck!
Rick
