Just need to hear from boing and EA01 please on chosen payment methods.

WARNING

Is anyone in touch with 'boing'? I am getting a little concerned for him as he has gone big-time 'NORDO'?

OCCASIONAL payments via Paypal are coming in significantly SHORT due to PP charges - AUS and NZ in particular. I may need in future to surcharge the money due for PP payments to avoid being out of pocket! Do watch PP fees!
