  1. Question:
    Do you ever look at the analytics from Amazon? There is no feedback as far as I can tell, on the buying end as to any commission.

  2. Chases Eagles:

    Yes, I have an account that gives that information. Is there something you want me to check on?

  3. Neo, I’m interested in chazzand’s question, too.
    I have also wondered if possible to send a check to one of the very active folks, eg Huxley, to then pay you — since they don’t mind (as much?) using PayPal.
    But that seems weasily, though it feels safer.
    Still hoping for a different method.

  4. chazzand and Marlene:

    I’ve done a lot of research on alternate forms of payment, such as Stripe, and encountered a great of trouble with them. I have been unable to find an alternative to Paypal that seems better to me, despite trying.

    Paypal hasn’t been doing anything too offensive lately, although I know they have in the past. I also take my money out quite often, which means they can’t take it away from me even should they want to do it. I realize, of course, that it means they get a small percentage, but they are providing a service that works quite well most of the time. So many services are politically compromised these days – including banks – that I figure it’s impossible to keep one’s hands clean. For me, Paypal works well and Stripe doesn’t.

    Another way to contribute here is to use my Amazon portal, also in the right sidebar. But of course some people won’t use Amazon. As I said, it’s difficult in this day and age to keep one’s hands clean.

  5. Done

    Thank for maintaining a site that has not succumbed to screaming and yelling, and, has class.
