I thought it was about time I became a fully paid up member, but when I go to pay using paypal I get an option for what I'm using the transaction for I.E. goods or services, and friends or family.

Now, me thinking it was for goods or services, since the club is offering a service in a way, clicked this option, but it now says that the recipient will pay the fees.

I'm sure the club doesn't want to be paying everybodys fees who join the club, so I didn't click on continue and changed it to pay family and friends which incurs no charges.

Am I correct in doing this? I still haven't clicked continue.....

Firstly, thanks for joining the club.

The club offers paypal as an option and accepts that paypal fees are a legitimate part of the service they offer.

Ultimately the choice is yours.

If you would prefer to see all of your subscription go to the club, then payment directly into our bank account incurs no fees either now or later.

That option is available on the application form.

Pete.

Well done for joining

Thanks, I've gone with bank transfer.
