No TAX ID would be a no go for us. It's required for financial audits
Eh? You require a tax ID from anyone you buy something from on Ebay? or you just don't buy one? Do you have Amazon's tax ID also? I'm guessing it's published somewhere?
I do find that surprising as the buyer to need the tax ID. But if you do need it in any of those cases, you just request it. It would never show up in their website or credit card system. I've never seen a Tax ID advertised like that. It's always by request.

You do all realize I do own GroveSocial/MangoLassi and do use a regular Paypal account like MANY companies and the only way you can get a tax ID and claim it etc. is to have a company fill our a W9 before you pay an invoice?
I have also told all of you if you need a physical invoice for your bosses that I would be happy to do that for you.

@Breffni-Potter you mean you fixed it? Unfortunately the site first load still takes time, now trying from my home and its just showing the same screen as mentioned by @scottalanmiller I am sure if i refresh the site one more time it will load properly. Did you try using any plugins like https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/
No. I did nothing performance wise
The site was thrown together in an hour with no optimisations because the most important thing was to get something usable live.
Performance can be miles better but there's no point optimising the site when it's on a temporary host. It needs to be moved, then optimised.

@Dashrender Your confused. There is only a fee for credit cards (both personal and business.) What I posted came directly from the PayPal website.
All payment gateways charge a fee if you are a business.
I loathe Paypal with a vengeance as they cripple small businesses with their involuntary audits where they can lock your money up for months. Stripe is much nicer
-
I use stripe via WAVE for my accounting software for GS and Stripe via Xero for NTG. Very happy with them.

@aaronstude I have had a few companies pay for their IT people's tickets with no issue. If someone needs an invoice they can get one.
I am an LLC and I own the company. So well it is me you are paying....
-
I think he was trying to point out that credit cards have a fee but bank transfers do not.

This is year one - There is quite a bit of work, planning and background tasks involved. An invoice should work fine with receipt. That is the reason you have both.

This is a great point. My boss really likes an official flier, but printout from the website have been allowable.
Little things to keep working on for the future.
Expect more for next year. That is what evolution is about. It gets better over time (like a good scotch or brandy).

I have two business Paypal accounts and I can send money to friends and family without any fees. The biggest advantage to a business account is the PayPal debit card. You get 1% rewards and you can use your PayPal balance without waiting for it to deposit in your bank account.
-
P.S. I refuse to pay with Square. A Mangolassi member ripped me off using square and they wouldn't refund me. I know Paypal is always handles it's disputes well.

Heck of a scam for $100...does he think you are that dishonest? I'm not sure that's the issue.
-
Fees don't always have anything to do with who is handling it. I don't get charged for using my Debit card when I go to stores. But if I use it as a credit card, there is a 2 -3% fee. Generally it's by choice to be paid by the sell or passed on to the buyer. That is common practice.

A lot of gas stations charge a higher rate (basically a per gallon fee) for using a CC over cash.

You know, you could argue that some conferences your entrance fee isn't for the conference or training but just you purchasing the swag bag

I have no idea which specific conference you are referring to, My mind is blank.

I can't make the conference but I am interested in partaking in the scam, if you could PM me some more details @Minion-Queen

Which scam would you like more information on, the money splitting or the purchasing of the swag bag? I find that the later is surprisingly more popular.

I know a man in Nigeria you should talk to...Give me your email address, home address, bank details, security questions and I will tell him to transfer....1 million dollars.

To be fare, the one literal bag from that conference has been my best laptop backpack for about seven years. So even if the entire cost of the conference went to buying that bag it would have been a reasonable company expense. It finally died this spring. I seriously used that thing like every day!
