Kevin--your Paypal account is probably linked to either your checking account/debit card or a credit card. If it's linked to your checking/debit card, you could accept paypal payments.
When someone pays you via Paypal, the money sits in the Paypal account until you decide to move it to your checking account. It takes about 3-4 days business days for the money to transfer to your checking account. It's free to transfer it.
You'll see a tab on your account screen that says "withdraw." You can only move the cash to your checking account only if it's linked to the PP account. If your Paypal account is not linked to your checking account/debit card, you will have to request a check. This takes a couple of weeks. It costs $1.50. (Don't do that.)
Importantly, if you do use it, a fee is automatically deducted when someone pays you w/paypal. That's why I suggest adding a little something onto it. Fees are 2.9% + 30 cents. The fee for this is ninety five cents per ticket ($22.50 x 0.971) + .30, so you might want us to add a buck onto each ticket price if you're accepting Paypal.
If Paypal isn't something you want to use, let us know how to pay you.
Thanks!

I'd like to buy two tickets through Pay Pal too. Let us know if it's set up and I'll move on it right away. Thanks, Ken

Yipes. OK, my Paypal account is linked to a debit card/checking account and I'm willing to allow payments on my pp preferences (should also facilitate transactions with the Nigerian princes and princesses who continue to contact me with exciting business opportunities), but the discount we're talking about is a measly 10%. On the assumption that we will be grouped together as the "chainlink people," this may have value to you. But as a practical matter, if you add $1.00 to your paypal purchase, you will be paying $23.50 for a $25.00 ticket. It's up to you.

Yeah. It's a little involved just to save a buck.
I do think it would be pretty fun to sit in a group.
Hmmm...maybe you could make anote on the calendar how you'd like us to send payments? I suggested Paypal because lots of people use it and it's fast. And, you've been invoiced for it.
If you want us to mail checks or get them to you by bike messenger, or passenger pigeon, that's cool. I'm glad to RSVP for myself and a few other people and send you their names along with payment.
It's fun to go to the show. I went years ago and enjoyed it.

Hi Kevin--
Message me with your address and I'll send you a check on or before Monday.
Also, I have a great business opportunity for you in Nigeria if you are interested in that. This is not a scam.
