Tea Companies that take PayPal

BTW – any chance I can get a discount on shipping since I’m in KC? :) If you weren’t only open on Tuesdays, I’d come check out the actual storefront sometime…

Well, we actually offer free shipping to the US and Canada on 52teas, and just a flat $4.99 on ManTeas. I’m afraid since we use USPS First Class Mail, it costs us the same amount to you in KC as it does to ship to a customer in Alaska.

Oh, I guess that free shipping can’t really get discounted, can it? ooops! :)

I like paypal for the same reason really: it stores all my credit cards and i dont’ need to have them on me

as a seller i know the fees suck and i end up having to mark up all my products to cover it, but convenience is key

AmazonV I am confused. I don’t use paypal and i also dont store credit card numbers my merchant does.

@jade teapot – as a consumer-paypal stores all my cards

but also, as a seller, if you use a traditional ecommerce platform without tokenization (paypal and google etc offer token services) you do end up storing the credit card for a limited amount of time so that you can do refunds etc. For example: Microsoft Commerce server – if you are not using a tokenization process and go directly against a credit card processor (for example, elavon) you do store an excrpted copy of the credit card for a certain amount of time so you can issue a refund or adjustment against the card. in the cases you have used a token you offer the toekn with the adjustment request and the token company then passed the credit card to the credit card processor. Tokens are the more modern technology but are not an option with all banks. When you work with over 300 different banks (we create ecomemrce websites for 100’s of clients and host them) you have to work with what your options are. And yes that is PCI compliant, tokens are just preferred.

Ok I see where your comming from. Why would anyone want to store credit cards when you dont have to. I use authorize.net they do it all for me.

No problem. I was just curious.

I totally agree with this post. I like online shopping too and paypal makes it easy. Paypal will even reference companies that take paypal which is good marketing for the company and makes my life simpler when on the hunt.

That’s pretty much the same reasons we use paypal. Besides, paypal has unbeatable security for buyers. Some buyers would worry about using their credit card on an unknown website. But paypal is trusted by most people :D
I hate the paypal fee too. Maybe some day google checkout can get more popular and useful :D

Unfortunately Wiseman Tea Co. only uses paypal (from what I could figure out.) I really wanted to try the kombacha when they had the sale for St. Patrick’s day, but since I have no desire to use paypal- I was SOL.

" I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t quite memorize the number"… Do people really memorize their credit card number(s)?

This one I will confess to, yes, I have memorized all the pertinent data for my mastercard and yes, having done that, I find myself using it more often than maybe I should … lol! However, the number was soooo easy to remember (it held numbers in it’s sequence that meant alot to me personally) so that helps in memorization.

Yes, I memorized my number, except that for my new credit card, I remember the four bunches… but not in order. So I have to swtich’em around.

I am actually embarrassed to say for one time period I could memorize 2 of my credit card numbers (because discover card is not accepted by all), yep, 2 sets of 16 digits. That’s when I realized I did too much online shopping :P Memorizing one’s card number is not a good symptom.

I win—I know three credit card numbers by heart. Which is awful, because it makes it a lot easier for me to spend too much money on tea!
