[QCWA] Online renewal

[Bob Cumming]

I agree that PayPal is easy as are other on-line 
bill payment methods are easy but, (that's a big 
but) they are very expensive for the vendor.  As 
the Commercial Chairman of the  Orlando 
HamCation®, I can relate to the costs of getting 
payments via electronic means.  A survey of our 
vendors asked would you support paying the costs 
of electronic payment the reply was a resounding NO!

In this era of rapidly rising costs, I'm sure the 
QCWA doesn't want to increase dues to cover these 
charges and the impact of losing members.  The 
cost of a stamp is still lower, although probably not much longer.

As others I pay about 95% of my bills on-line, 
but only those who don't use a third party that 
charges a surcharge on the payment.
