Christmas Hamper Raffle

GRF has been donated a lovely christmas hamper - whisky, wine, irish creme, ham, coffee....
The weather has really hit ticket sales what with the december walk being cancelled and Baltree being inaccessible.


We want to turn this into an online raffle but does anyone have any ideas for paying? Paypal charge 3.4% plus 20p. Celia wants to draw the raffle on the 23rd so help needed please.

Thanks,
Michele

Re: Christmas Hamper Raffle

If payment is by PayPal Gift and the sender has PayPal funds then there is no fee. Would be a shame to line PayPals pockets with fees!

Only other alternative to PayPal that I can think of is by direct bank transfer

Re: Christmas Hamper Raffle

OK folks,
if you have funds in your paypal account please use the link to Paypal on the sponsor a kennel pages to pay for your tickets. once you've paid let me know plz and i'll send your ticket numbers

if you want to pay into the bank or have another suggestion please contact me.( email or phone 01382 679270)

Re: Christmas Hamper Raffle

I just want to clear up a misunderstanding regarding PayPal charges. It is quite true what Michelle says about the 3.4% +20p in regular circumstamces, but I have arranged that GRF is treated as a charity and so only pays 1.4% + 20p, a much better deal, so please go ahead and use PayPal if it is convienient for you.

Re: Christmas Hamper Raffle

If you send the money as a GIFT via paypal there is no charges.

So go into the send money part, choose PERSONAL rather than PURCHASE - this will allow you to sent the money to GRF with no fees. Please choose the gift option.

I have used this before and it works.

Re: Christmas Hamper Raffle

Tickets are still available for the hamper. Please let me know if you still want some and we'll sort out something.
Extra goodies (cherry and sultana cakes, more bottles, xmas crackers....) have been added to the hamper by several kind people.
Lots of yummy goodies so get your tickets and help give the homeless hounds a happy christmas!!!!!!!!

Re: Christmas Hamper Raffle

Right, got some cleared Paypal funds just now so I'll take a few - what's the paypal address?

Re: Christmas Hamper Raffle

Hi Steve,
the paypal address is "greyhoundrescuefife@hotmail.co.uk"
and if you make a note on it hamper raffle tickets.

Cheers,
Michele
