Cathinfo friends,

I'm offering several ways to pay for any items you want to purchase from me. I apologize that I cannot accept PayPal. They have given me problems with transferring my funds from their service to a bank, and were unreasonable when I tried to satisfy their demands.

Here are the choices I can think of; let me know when you decide to buy an item which payment method you prefer (or suggest a different one):

1) Western Union - this is the fastest method when you use "Money In Minutes", but the fees can be a little high. If you choose this method, I will ship your item as soon as I have the cash, the same day unless the shipping store is closed for the evening.

2) US Postal Service Money Order - just like a check, but I can cash it locally. You can generally send Postal Money Orders overnight or 2-day with very little cost, since you're sending an envelope. You can choose how soon you'd like the Money Order to arrive.

3) Moneypak card - these are available at major retailers, such as CVS Pharmacy, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, and more. www.moneypak.com has a locator for stores that sell the card. It's $4.95 plus the amount you want to load onto the card. You can then PM or email me the code number from the back of the card, and I can deposit the funds directly into my electronic account associated with my debit card. As with Western Union, the funds are available immediately and I can ship the same day I receive them, provided that the shipping store is open.

You may also simply choose to send a personal check, but please bear in mind that I do not have a bank account with a local branch, so I would have to give the check to a friend and have them deposit the check for me. That could take several days to a week.

I leave the decision entirely up to each individual that would like to purchase any of the items I have listed.

May God richly bless you as we approach the holy Advent season.

Ave Maria,

Stephen Francis
