Making Payments to ATISA Using PayPal

Message from the ATISA Secretary-Treasurer, Jonathan Hine

"Our company, Scriptor Services LLC, has a PayPal account, and has offered to receive payments to ATISA for membership and other things. This is just the payment part. You must still follow the other procedures for applying for membership, indicating the PayPal confirmation number on the membership application form. The forms can be downloaded in Microsoft WordŽ, completed and attached to e-mail, or printed and sent by post.

If you are a current member ONLY renewing membership and NOTHING has changed in your membership information, you only need to send in your renewal dues as outlined below. Otherwise, please use a membership application form to send me the new information.
 
Paypal is not free, but it is less expensive than bank transfers and other vehicles, including checks and money orders in USD drawn on banks and post offices outside the USA. To cover the fees, those using PayPal should send the following amounts:
 
Membership dues:    USD 37.50 (Regular); USD 17.00 (students)

The numbers above include the PayPal fee. ATISA will get the amounts indicated on the membership application or registration form ($35, $15).

Registration for ATISA 2008 at the University of Texas at El Paso is handled directly by UTEP.
 
How to pay using your Visa or MasterCard and paypal.com:

  • Using your browser, go to www.paypal.com.  

If you have never used paypal.com before, you will be invited to set up an account. It's free, and you only need the most basic, low-level account to make payments. For obvious security reasons you need a valid email address so that paypal can send you confirmations and guard against various unsavory users. However, "verification" and giving them your bank account information is all optional. Just be alert to check and uncheck boxes as you see fit. Most countries seem to have more stringent privacy rules than the USA ("opt-in" instead of "opt-out"), so you should have little to worry about.

  • Follow these instructions from PayPal:
  • Click the Send Money tab.
  • Click the Pay Anyone subtab.
  • Enter the recipient's email address [account@scriptorservices.com], the amount [see above], the currency [USD], the category of payment [Service], and an optional subject ["ATISA [year] dues"] and note [please include your full name, address, telephone, school and email].
  • Click Continue.
  • Review the information on the confirmation page and click Send Money to complete your transaction.

When you mail in your membership form (to me), please indicate the confirmation number on the form or attach a printout of your confirmation page. This will allow us to match the payment, confirm it and get back to PayPal if there are problems. If you are a new member, I will get that paperwork from the Conference people and enter you in the membership list. At that time, I will email you a receipt with your Membership Number, and you know that the circle is complete.
