Posted on: 08.06.2013 by Suzann Hvezda
Hello fellow djs

Just a quick question, i know a lot of you guys accept a certain percrntage of payments before hand. Do you guys ever accept the prepayments in the form of paypal?

Paypal's a B!
im sorrry but this is completely not true
even the EDIT you made to it
i have been using paypal since 1998 and have probably had to complain about both sides as a buyer and a seller.
and this , has never happened even 60% of the time

If it is a gift to a friend (you have to select that option) then it is free (I believe).

this is true. however, the funds need to be linked from a checking account and not a debit/credit card.

And 3% is very reasonable considering there is no monthly charge.
The 3% drops as well - as your income rises.

09.06.2013		i take it all up front
i dont even do promotions for the evening unless is already been paid for

this way
A) they cant change the schedule on me
B) they cant ask me NOT to come (since they paid for me to be there already)
C) if my people show up and they want to say "We are only paying for your people that showed" that isnt going to happen either.
Because if they and the venue dont already have its own people show up, thats not my fault, and actually, that would be a really bad sign of their own business

08.06.2013		yeah I've taken payments as paypal for deposits plenty of times. Just make the promoter pay the fees too.

One thing I can't stand is booking headliners and how they almost always require their deposits sent via wire. That shit is expensive.
