hugh Posted 10 August, 2008 Share Posted 10 August, 2008 I am surprised and slightly confused with the trouble people have had registering. Took me no more than 15-20 seconds using PayPal and no, I am not being pestered with emails as a result. It really isn't rocket science. If it is all too much trouble and you need to post more than three times a day then try the uglyinside.net Just don't expect the volume of postings that you get here and there are some of the Blue Few that are regulars there, plus a couple of other Premier League supporters, none of whom are entirely sympathetic to our plight!

I got rid of all my credit cards recently and don't have a visa debit one yet but use paypal for a few things anyway. No hassle for me signing up with my paypal account. I don't understand why people go on about paypal so much as a security risk either. Each time you use a card online you expose yourself to a low risk, whatever the site... amazon etc. You probably take a bigger risk with a card when you reel your numbers out to some call centre over the phone tbh. I also think Granty is being very good about cheques and POs etc as they are all a bit old hat these days! There are a few other saints sites about as mentioned above but all appear to be quite amateur in comparison and also fairly political in a couple of cases. That's why I think people will eventually return here in greater numbers. There are less muppets posting atm though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

66East Posted 11 August, 2008 Share Posted 11 August, 2008 I paid up with my PayPal credit without a problem. Are you sure some of it isn't being withheld until a sale is completed satisfactorily? No, there are plenty of funds in the account. It just automatically asks me for card details. I've made some other purchases lately and it takes it straight from the funds in the account, so I'm not sure why this is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurosaint Posted 11 August, 2008 Share Posted 11 August, 2008 I got the Saintsweb bank details by e-mail from SG and paid directly by online transfer !

stevegrant Posted 11 August, 2008 Share Posted 11 August, 2008 Sorry for any delays with cheque payments or responding to e-mails etc, irritatingly someone has made a pig's ear of the Southampton city centre BT exchange so I've been without internet access since Friday. Hopefully it'll be fixed by the time I get home tonight. Those whose cheques I've received will have full access by lunchtime today if they've not got it already. Obviously if your cheque bounces, I'll be cancelling it though Also, could the unidentified person who posted me €10 in cash from France please contact me as I have no idea what username you use!!
