Re: PAYING FOR GROUPS.IO


 

I believe that Stefan has hit the nail on the head twice as shown below:

The"contributing membership" thing can be an annual event whenever the bill is about to come due.? Therefore it could be done by either Dennis or Michael.? Raise the cost of a membership to $5 so that whoever is collecting it can deal with a minimal no. of eBay responses.? Make the first year sufficient to cover what has already been paid and the coming year as well as eBay and Paypal fees. Contributors will receive a confirmation from Paypal with no hassle for Dennis or Michael.? If there are people who need recognition on the list for their contribution, DON"t BOTHER!? Save the bandwidth for something important like Jerry's bull and electric fence controller!? There will be no excess funds to deal with.? The annual free for all to get one of the "contributing memberships" will be something to look forward to.? It will be open to all who use eBay and Paypal already and that likely is a very large majority(despite all of the acid remarks about eBay!).? The eBay posting will make it obvious to everyone the total which is being collected by the no. of shares offered and the cost.? (Think of it in terms of Ohm's Law)

Now I don't have a problem with that, if you guys want to sponsor this
thing for the rest of us that's fine.
But Dennis seems to have a bad case of the decency. Probably caught it
from his parents, quite easy to pass on if you aren't careful. Luckily
it's not fatal, only instills this weird craving for fairness. You'll
also die poorer and obviously can't ever have a job in politics, sorry
'bout that.

Maybe you can simply sell 150 "contributing memberships" on Ebay as $1
buy it now items and if someone wants to donate say $10 they can just
pick up 10 pcs? This would cap the funds coming in and almost
auto-generate a list.

Patreon or any of the countless gofundme type of sites would likely
work too, but I don't really want to singn up somewhere new. I expect
most members use Ebay already.

I don't think anyone is too concerned about fees or what happens to
excess money, the goal is to reimburse you with the least hassle for
you, but I understand why you do not want to be saddled with a large
sum that you don't know what to do with.
