NorbytheRobot Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Hey everybody, Warring Worms is now for sale. I have about 25 carts available immediately. I will have a waiting list for additional carts as soon as I get more PCB's. It is all detailed on the Warring Worm's home page. You can also download the latest .bin file for play or look at the instructions. Please email me to get on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Billy, does the game have a lable or is it just a blank cart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorbytheRobot Posted February 26, 2002 Author Share Posted February 26, 2002 The cartridge has a label (pictured at the Warring Worm home page). It also will come with printed instructions. As a side note, paying through Paypal, you can either transfer from your account or use an eCheck. I am not a premiere member, so I can't accept credit cards (correct me if I am wrong).

ATARIPITBULL Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 No, I think you can still get credit card payments even if you are not a premier member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Be warned that Paypal takes a much larger percentage of anything paid to you by credit card. It costs them more to process a credit card transaction, and as such, they recoup their losses through you. That's why they advocate paying by your checking account so much! It costs them literally nothing to complete the transaction, yet they can still make their money by taking a smaller percentage from any funds wired to you.

MattyXB Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 I have mail you for info's, I hope you send to germany! Great game, I loved Surround, I loved Tapeworm and I will like this game when I can buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorbytheRobot Posted February 26, 2002 Author Share Posted February 26, 2002 I will ship anywhere in the world, as long as you pay for shipping! I also did some research at paypal.com, I can not accept credit cards because I only have a personal account. I don't feel like upgrading to a premiere account, but may if there really, really is a demand for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to pay you some other way as well, then, as I recently removed my checking account from PayPal after all the horror stories I've read about them lately. Until I create a second checking account for use with just PayPal, they're not getting access to my primary account. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorbytheRobot Posted February 27, 2002 Author Share Posted February 27, 2002 Just thought I'd let everyone know, the first run of WW is sold out! I expect to have materials for a second run very soon. So please send me your name if you would like me to reserve you one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paypal users who are not Premier can only accept $100 in credit cards per month. No matter what level you are at they charge $.30 per transaction plus 2.9%. So, if you get $10 from someone they charge $.59! It is better to use your checking account, but most people seem to be oblivious to this fact. I've been using my checking account since day one of signing up and have never had problems with them. I've heard so many horror stories about "Paypal did this or that" almost all of which are NOT TRUE! Alot of these people just didn't read the rules when they signed up and when they started getting charged to accept credit cards they got ticked off. This is really simple to overcome by adding it to the starting bid or charging a small handling fee, but some people are too lazy or stupid to figure this out. There is one thing you should know though, the part about them charging a lower rate if you get their Paypal MasterCard Logo/ATM card is not entirely true. They still charge the same fee ($.30 + 2.9%)to accept credit cards but the give part of it back when you use the card (they give you half of the 2.9% back) I've never used my card so I'm not exactlly sure how that part works. I just take the hit for the original fee. I still try to encourage people to send me money through their checking account, but almost everyone I've sold to uses a credit card.

Take care, Rick Wow, I didn't know that. I upgraded long before that so I had no idea they changed it. Bummer for personal users. Time for them to upgrade I guess.
