Here's a tip I learned with my rental home that could apply to getting auction payments (smaller scale I know). I had renters who were consistently late making their monthly rent. My contract was written stating rent was due on the 1st but late payment penalties would take affect for payments received after the 15th. The check always arrived on the 15th. The next rent increase & update on the contract I left those dates alone but gave a $50 credit if payment was deposited to my account on or before the 1st. I bumped the base rent up enough so that giving the credit was no impact to my bottom line. Plus, since they didn't use checking accounts and I am in a different state, part of their issue had been finding time to get a money order to send payment to me thru the mail. But I still bank local to them so I made arrangements for my bank to accept their payments deposited directly to my account (w/o disclosing my account info). Now they could stop to make payment on their way home from work or shopping. They were never late again! Lessons learned- 1. make it convenient to pay 2. make it more worth while to be on time. I've seen a few sellers on the auction use bonus' for fast pay, others offering credit card payments. I'm sure there are other creative ways to offer rewards for being fast pay. Of course technology problems always get in there with e:mail and such- maybe listing a good ole fashioned phone number and times you accept calls. For hobbyists who don't want to list their personal phone number on the net there are some tools like inexpensive online call forwarding services (example: accessline.com) that can be used to protect your personal number from view.

I have never seen or heard of mozilla or the firefox team doing anything like that. I just don't think I would go to their link in that letter and enter any info, but if you do want to donate instead type in the mozilla address and search there. The webpage does look legit but I have seen a lot of phising sites that looked very legit. Mark Surman is the executive director but that is easily found info. Just not sure on this one. you got this in your email? this is the one that keeps coming up for me in searches for donations to mozilla Contribute to Mozilla well after looking farther I did find a link to your letters site on this page from mozilla Join Us in the Mozilla Firefox Challenge This Holiday Season

Thanks, Christopherh. I had already posted on Craftlister, but didn't realize I should also post on Eventlister. Their site seems pretty thorough, and I'm impressed! I've even gotten a couple requests for apps from there. Didn't know about the promoters in Holly. Don't live close to them; live near Lake Huron. If you don't mind, would you please send me their name. Maybe they wouldn't mind giving some advice? Thanks!
