Re: PayPal
Unfortunately palladium does not have a paypal payment option set up.

Re: PayPal
Come to think of it, is there any particular reason for that I wonder? Seems like a good thing to have these days.

Likely they just never thought they needed it.

Re: PayPal
PayPal is too new and won't last...
Dear optimists, pessimists, and realists,
While you were all arguing over the glass of water, I just drank it.

Re: PayPal
Paypal is popular, and I for one like it quite a bit. If it was added to the store I would likely use it. When going to a new on-line store that I'm not familiar with, it is a turn off for me now if they don't take paypal.

Re: PayPal
shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that PB is behind the times in terms of tech. They had to be pushed to setup a Facebook page because they thought it would take them weeks. They may get paypal by 2020 when people have moved on to another payment option.

Re: PayPal
Perhaps, but not all tech, as I was surprised to find out. They were able to charge my credit card with an attachment to one of their smart phones at the Detroit Fanfare. I thought that was fairly modern of them.

Paypal has a process where you get your money back (assuming that the funds are still in the account obviously) if you don't get your product (as determined by delivery confirmation/tracking) in 45 days IIRC. If you get too many refunds, they freeze your account and even if it is reinstated you can't withdraw the money till that above time period passes. I think if you take a look at the 2013 catalog (much of which is available for preorder), you'll see that Palladium would have their account frozen probably within 2 months if they offered it due to the ubiquitous backsliding delivery date delays.
Congratulations, Palladium Books. You just threw away a customer of 28 years because of how you handled Robotech Tactics.

That could be as simple as not accepting paypal as payment on preorders

Re: PayPal
A couple of smaller companies have refused to use PayPal because of the expense. Apparently they are not the cheapest for businesses to use. I know they always screw me in the exchange department. I do believe that quite a while ago Kevin mentioned that PayPal might be too expensive for them. Especially considering the low cost of the books we get.
