[Question] PayPal @ comic shows

[Zanziber]

I'm getting ready to get back into going to shows this upcoming year, and I was wondering how people have been able to offer PayPal for payments in the past? I would love to be able to offer it for my customers, but I'd like a little more clairity on how it's done. I think some people would want to use an unfamiliar computer to perform a financial transaction.

 

Thanx in advance... and sorry I've been gone for so long.

I have used it at local cons and people have been very happy with it.

I let them log in and set everything up and let them log themselves out.

Thanx for that. Anyone else have information they can share with someone who would like to utilize PayPal at shows? The more helpful the information, the more greatful I am.

A lot of people have iphones now and they can just pay through that or any other phone with a web browser.

Paypal also has a free debit card that works well.

How do you protect yourself against buyer chargebacks? You have no shipping information so all a buyer has to do is file an "item not received" dispute and you're screwed.

In the message box I have them put "books purchased in person from comic con"

If you're not in a venue that offers wi-fi, you'd just need a laptop with a cellular modem from AT&T, Verizon, etc... You could make it clear to customers that you delete the broswer cache and all data after each transaction. Or as another person suggested, they can send it to you from their phone if it has that capability, then you can log on to your computer to verify the transaction.

Perfect!

I'll give it a try. Thanx to all!

As a buyer, I just go the PayPal debit card route. (thumbs u

There are also a few web browsers that delete any and all information/cookies when you close the browser. No traces of where that browser has been/activity are left on the computer. It would be a excellent way to offer your customer 100% security. They are not free. Try a google search for them. The best one sells for about $50 or so.

That sounds like a good idea. Any names you can give me to help with the search?

 

Thanx!
