Okay.

Should anyone be short on checks and

We *could* but notes would have to be made. Also, there will probably be an 
ATM machine in the hotel, and if worse comes to worse, I bet the hotel 
would cash a check up to a certain amount. People will have options.

Maybe YOU can, but counting isn't my strong point. ;-) Anyway, when I 
originally set the price at 14, it was (in my mind) $15 plus $3 shipping 
and handling.

OMG. No, please, no. <whimper>

Okay. The price is $15.

Boy, that would be nice....

Depends on the vagueries of Paypal. I think we should just hand over the 
shirt and if the card does not go through, we'll find them later. If it 
turns out to be a bad transaction for us, well, it won't be the first time. 
Anyway, these are Members, not strangers.

Does Paypal via credit cards cost us

Yes. :-(  But it's better than no sale.

THAT could be tricky. I dunno. Erik will have to ponder that. He is the 
Paypal Master.
