You are right sallana, I have a right to my opinion and I may be right or I may be wrong, I guess we will see in a couple months time.
He's been in business for 4 months.
A week or so before x-mas, I accidentally overcharged my bank account using paypal, which caused a negative balance in my bank and PP account. I overcharged 2 dollars and ended up in debt for 170$ because of bank fees. I called customer support and they corrected the outstanding balance and payed my bank charges and said "Happy holidays." - I love PP
Either way - The CC processing is available and pending upon the review of the loyal customers and how they would feel about a slight price raise. He's still figuring exactly how much he would have to raise the prices - I don't think it will be drastic. Maybe a dollar? He/We just don't want to do it without the valued opinions of the customers. As someone with a degree in business management, I am aware that limited payment options also limits his customer base and I have been gunning for the slight price raise. But he does have quite a few loyal customers and I've learned that building loyalty is a very hard thing to do, and as a business owner you MUST respect your loyal customers first. This is why he has waited.
Sandy, I am sure that Nikhil will respect and appreciate your input, and since he is on vacation I will apologize on his behalf for not having a payment method that is suitable to your needs, all customers - potential and loyal - are valued, and we do regret not being able to cater to everyone. It should be held in the back of your mind that Nikhil is just one person and doesn't necessarily have the tools/employees needed to really pull out the 'big guns'.
However I will mention just for people who ARE weary of paypal - If you speak with Nikhil directly he may accept personal check. This is something we've discussed but is not offered on the website at the moment because we are unsure of a decent way to implement such a thing. As you mentioned, Sandy, the check would have to clear before your order would begin processing.
This method hasn't been widely publicized for a couple reasons and I can't speak directly for Nikhil either way. You might give it a shot if you are really wanting to try something but prefer to avoid PP. You can e-mail or PM him or contact him through the website.
