Memberships on the internet (payment and all)
 

Was thinking it would be nice to use the internet to pay my membership with a credit card!

Before the big change came we could. It would be nice if LSBA set up a PayPal account (for example) so those who wished to could make membership payments in this manner.

The alternative is for everyone to buy a life membership. :wink:

Yes and Merchandise also.

I agree!!!

this is starting to look good 7 responses and all positive.... If anyone has a good reason why this is not a great idea, I hope they will speak up...

Barring a valid reason as why not to do this I am all for it as well. I agree with biggen that getting the merchandise via internet would be handy also.

I have to agree with the above postings. :)






Something doesn't seem right with all this agreement. :shock:

problem maybe that (from my very limited knowledge) most of the EC council and president are not internet user friendly and may never see this post!

Most of the EC are hooked up to the internet, and thier e-mail addresses are listed in the LSBA mag.. Makes no difference, I am part of the council and I will bring this to the table at the next EC meeting.

It would be very simply to set up a Paypal account for the LSBA.
I say we go for it.

Good idea. There is plaenty of software available to do it and Sp!ke had discussed this same thing before the forum had crashed/was hacked last year.

Mike would that be allowed on this site? Seems I remember something about this site not being "owned" by the LSBA. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
:?:
Not sure how the bylaws stand on this. :?:

The good thing about PayPal is it's real easy to use. TOOOOOO easy. :( :twisted:

Seems like the internet site is getting more and more activity. Like the way it allows us to feel connected to our organization.....

I agree it would be a great tool!

still awaiting word from SPIKE, as he is always lurking in the wings.....

My only reservation is how much does it cost? Credit cards charge a fee for their use (2-4%?) :shock: and I'll bet paypal gets a cut as well. :roll:
Other than that, I'd vote for it, and may even with the cost. (Leave it to a Scotsman to worry about cost... :lol:

Look for this hopefully in the near future. We on the EC have been discussing and working on this for a while. There have been some reservations mentioned, but the pros do seem to outweigh the cons and hopefully we will offer this soon.

Thanks for bringing the EC voice to the site Proforce, it is great to see you and beleg out here regularly.....this really brings the members together...

Honestly, its alot easier to pay over the net then via mail, i know if they had a way to pay over the computer i would already be a member and i wouldnt keep forgeting and putting it off!!! from someones who wants to join, im not a member yet!!!

lol, john920 :lol:

John, there are a lot of people out there that are in the same boat as you. Hopefully, the EC will approve a PayPal account so memberships can be initiated and maintained using this very valuable resource.

Probably without a webmaster we will wait awhile for any major changes or postings.
