recently paid membership fees at the full rate, but if we are to make such a
cut it is inevitable that some people will have paid the full rate in the
months before the cut,
I paid at the £6 rate but even had I paid the full rate I don't think
I'd be too upset.
Are you sure price cutting is the answer?
As I understood it WMUK was already a bit peeved if people paid the
lower rate via PayPal because of PayPal taking a cut, so presumably
the £5 rate will cause any Paypal sign-ups to be virtually
counter-productive, yet it would be my argument that Paypal's probably
the single biggest area ripe for growth in garnering funds.
I probably wouldn't have got my arse in gear to sign up if there had
been no Paypal or at least debit card option.
So I'll ask the question; if you decide to make the rate £5 are you
going to remove the Paypal payment option?
