Effective November 15, 2001:( for credit card users)

PayPal has instituted a new policy eliminating personal accounts from accepting credit card payments.  Euchre4cash@yahoo.com can only accept money from Paypal accounts that have a positive balance.  Credit card money sent to this account will be denied. Monies added to a personal account via a bank or Paypal transfer are still free of charge.  

Joesgirl0@yahoo.com is a founder's personal premier account. When money arrives at this account, Lisa (Joesgirl)will PayPal the money back to you, minus the credit card fee charged by PayPal. We ask that you send a minimum of \\$10.00 to cut down on transactions. As an example, if you were to send us \\$10.00, then \\$9.41 will be sent back to you based off the current paypal fee of 2.9% + \\$0.30. You may then use these funds to enter tournaments at any later date by paypaling the tournament fee to the standard club account euchre4cash@yahoo.com.  

To expedite the credit card transaction you may wish to notify a founder of your deposit to the credit card account.  Please fund your account a full 24 hours prior to any tournament that you plan on attending. Exceptions for last minute entries cannot be accommodated, as the extra steps will delay the tournament start. This process was instituted so that we could still accept credit cards, yet keep the tournaments free for those members who do not use them.
