Beryl has another pillow for auction for Apache's Memorial Fund.
Beryl
The pillow that will be going up here is the one that Pat bid on and won. She has donated it back to the Memorial Fund. Jimmy will be posting the picture and what was posted about it originally.

Thanks to xracers who won the auction and graciously donated the pillow back to be auctioned again. She was just happy to donate the money to help offset Apache's large medical bill.

The design was airbrushed and it's completely washable. Do not bleach, wash in cold water, gentle cycle, and dry on low temperature.

This auction will run for 10 days and end on Wednesday, May 14th at midnight EST.

APACHE MAY BE GONE, BUT HE WILL REMAIN IN OUR HEARTS, AND NOT BE FORGOTTEN.

I never knew Apache but when he passed I felt as if I lost one of my 6 pack.
Apache you will not be forgotten you will live in my heart and many of the members of EG

mom2greys
I bid $10.
Beryl
Thank You mom2greys
mom2greys
It's just a start, if I get a check from the feds it will be more.
mountain4greys
mom2greys, you are just AWESOME!!!!!! emo-happy116.gif emo-happy116.gif emo-happy116.gif
mom2greys
Thank you Jimmy, but I wouldn't go that far. Just tring to help any way I can.
Beryl
I would be nice if there were donations also. Hope we are helping in our own small way
mom2greys
I was thinking of a donation also, if we get a check. You know how the feds can be. emo-th_headbangwall.gif
Beryl
yes we know how the feds are and we are waiting for ours too plus my tax rebate from the State of PA
dad2paisley
Beryl and I were thinking of an EG paypal account where you can donate monies for any pup that needs help with medical bills, surgery etc.
Don't know how we could do this? Any ideas, please share.
Beryl
I think anyone with an e-mail addy can have a paypal account.
mom2greys
That's true but you have to have a paypal account to do this so funds can be transfred. They need your bank account info. Just remember paypal takes a small amount of the funds transfered.

I think this is a wonderful idea. emo-cheer2.gif to the both of you.
Beryl
Yes the fee is taking off of the person receiving the money
Greys4Us
What an awesome gesture! Apache was such a special dog in so many ways. To know that he will not be forgotton makes his loss a little more bearable. There is no way to thank all of you for your support and for caring so much. during a very sad time.

Thanks D2P for giving everyone the ability to honor Apache's memory here and through his loss to help other hounds in need. Thanks Beryl for the beautiful pillow. Thanks Pat for the donation and for sending the pillow back for another auction. Thanks to everyone for caring!!!!



dad2paisley
Your welcome. That is one reason I created EG. Not only for the fun stuff, but for times when hounds need help medically or as other things come up. As I said many times, I feel like EG is family and not just like other message boards. We here at EG care for each other, their hounds and hounds in need.

I have a paypal account and if you want, I can use it for this purpose. Let me know, give me some feedback.


emo-th_hugs.gif

Beryl
I also have a PayPal Account.

Apache pulled at my heart strings from the first time I saw his picture and then he burrowed his way into my heart/life when I heard about his illness. I cried my heart out when Hettie posted that "its over we let him go" I will never forget him and he has a niche in my heart the way my Bridge kids do.

Apache you fought a good fight but I do believe St. Francis wanted you to run free at the Bridge until we meet again.

emo-ghrunning1.gif emo-bridge.png emo-ghrunning1.gif

dad2paisley
Ok, what should we do? Still looking for ideas.
mountain4greys
A friendly reminder: The aution for the pillow ends in 2 days!!!

This auction is helping pay for Apache's big medical bills.

dad2paisley
emo-th_clapping.gif
Beryl
What do you think if we only run the auction for 7 days instead of 10 or any ideas
mom2greys
Sounds good to me
dad2paisley
Sounds good to me. emo-th_cool1.gif
Beryl
We will have to let Jimmy and Hettie know. CarpeCanem runs for a week. I will have to check out Alishas and see how long she runs hers. I haave the thread for both auctions if anyone wants to see what they have. On Alishas my Jams is modeling a ducky coat I donated (not Softees another one we made)

Just checked Alishas and I received it 5/13 and runs till 5/19

HAPPY BIDDING!!!
dad2paisley
Cool item.


We also have a Donate button, if anyone wants to donate monies towards Apache's Memorial Fund and medical bills.
Beryl
Okay people please bid I was going to save this T but I thought it would be better off with someone who will love it as much as I did. Apache will always have a place in my heart. Run free sweet prince

edited to show

If you cannot see it in the picture the T is blue
xracers
I bid 15.00- it looks like a good tshirt to wear when I'm doing pet runs! No one will recognize me in a shirt with no holes emo-th_Laie_67.gif
Beryl
Thanks Pat - you know Apache has been a pet project for me
mountain4greys
Pat, you're such a riot! I hope I get to ride with you again!!!!! emo-th_hugs.gif
Beryl
Yes Pat and hope to meet you remember if one of your hauls is near Pgh let me know and we will meet you with some Tasty Cakes just let me know what kind or do you want me to ship some to you?
mom2greys
I have a question, can I use the donate button to pay for my pillow or do I need to send another check?
Beryl
That is a good question and I guess only d2p or Hettie can answer that one

By the way I am glad the pillow is going to get a good home with you mom2greys and we are getting it ready to ship. Will probably ship it out the beginning of the week
Greys4Us
Mom2greys, since D2P isn't on line, I hope he won't mind me answering. You should be able to pay via the Paypal button. Just click on the donate button and you should see Apache's fund. You can type in the amount you want to pay.

The subject of the button will be changed with each "in need" dog that comes along.

D2P can correct this if it's wrong!!! But I think we got it all worked out so far. If the person donating the item wants to be reimbursed for the postage, we can also do that.

dad2paisley
The donate button works. So you can do it through paypal. You can add what ever shipping costs are to the total.

My question

How do I send Beryl the money?
Beryl
I do have paypal or we can figure something out
mom2greys
Just let me know so I can get this done. How much does paypal charge for this so I can make sure your getting what I want to send? I'll cover the paypal cost.


I would like to know if you got my first check though?
Beryl
I think Jimmy posted about the check

What I can do is wait until mom2greys receives the package and then she can send me the postage if that helps out.
Greys4Us
Got your first check today Mom2greys! Thank you so much!

I don't think Paypal charges anything. So what you "donate" will be the money that is received.

Hettie Paypal does charge a modest fee

That is true I know they do charge. Beryl I'll do it anyway you would like me too. Was just thinking the donate button would be easier.

Hettie, I'm glad you got the check and I'm happy I can help in the small way that I am.
Beryl
Let me check with Dave as he is the one that has to get it mailed
mom2greys
Ok
mountain4greys
When did PayPal start charging? I just registered for Dewey and paid PayPal, and nothing but what I paid for was charged. I've bought over 135 things on ebay and paid with PayPal, and was never charged more than what I won on the auction.

Beryl
When I have received a PayPal payment which included a refund or two they have always taken money out. It might just be to the person receiving the money. so many people who are on e-bay don't like paypal payments if the sale is under $10.00
mom2greys
I have had money taken out before when someone has sent me money.
mountain4greys
That makes sense. I've always paid, and never recieved money through paypal. But I'll always use it, and I would still recomend it here to. It just makes it easier and faster, and it's secure. I've never had a problem.
Beryl
I agree about it being secure but do they take it out of this type of fund
mom2greys
I use paypal all the time and I like it. I just want to cover the fee so that the group gets what I'm sending.
Beryl
emo-th_clapping.gif emo-applause.gif emo-th_clapping.gif
dad2paisley
There is no fee to send monies.
mom2greys
Cool, I'll hit the donate button right now to take care of my bid then when I know how much shipping is I can settle with Beryl.
mom2greys
I have sent the money.
Beryl
The fee is taken out of the recipient's money. When I get money from PayPal they take a modest amount out even on refunds of overpayments..
Beryl
I just found this - please read

Are there fees associated with PayPal services? Question : Answer : There are no fees to send money in the same currency.

PayPal will charge a small fee to your credit card when you link it to your PayPal account. The charge amount is once the PayPal code is entered and your card is confirmed.

There may be fees to receive payments and to withdraw funds to a non-U.S. bank account (depending on the amount you withdraw).

Personal accounts can accept a limited number of credit or debit card-funded payments per year and are assessed a transaction fee. To view your Personal account limit, log in to your account and click View Limits.

Premier and Business accounts are charged a small fee to receive payments. All fees are subject to change.

Fees are assessed at the time of the transaction. When you receive a payment in your account, PayPal deducts the fee. The fee amount appears in your transaction history in the Fee column.



mom2greys
Beryl, D2P got the money I sent and they didn't take any out for a fee.
Beryl
Then it must be different for that type of fund. With me they do take out money for using it.
mom2greys
Ok I'll send you a check for the shipping then.
Beryl
It will be probably mailed tomorrow
Beryl
QUOTE (mom2greys @ May 18 2008, 02:15 PM)

Maybe they do not charge for non profit groups. Who knows. I know when I pay by paypal there is not fee but when I receive a payment they take some money out of it..That is why a lot of times I ask before I use paypal especiall for small payments
mom2greys
Just let me know how much so I can get a check off to you. I can't wait to get the pillow. emo-cheer2.gif I have been looking for something like this for a while.
Beryl
Won't know how much till I get it to the PO which we hope to do tomorrow. i do have a doctor appt tomorrow also for the fx metatarsal. Hope the cast comes off.
Beryl
