It has been such a pleasure over the last 11 months being involved with MySkatingMall.com as we have raised over $1,600 for figure skating clubs, teams, and charities!
We are having one reoccurring problem that we need your help to fix. Since PayPal is new to many people, quite often there has been trouble completing payment at the time of purchase. When the buyer or seller does not know how to “fix” their PayPal account issues, they often are completing payment outside of the MySkatingMall.com system. This denies the site and charities the commissions due on the sale.
This fact is not widely known and and we are sure no one is doing it on purpose. It is not like the buyer is saving any money; all that is happening is that 10% of the sale price is not being shared by MySkatingMall.com and the skating groups of the buyer and seller.
This is our simple plea: If you have bought an item and for whatever reason payment was not completed immediately after purchase, do not “Send Money” directly to the seller or pay a “Money request” from the seller through PayPal. If you are a seller, please do not send a “Money request” directly to the buyer or suggest the buyer pay you directly.
So how do you complete the transaction? Follow these steps:
1) Log into your MySkatingMall.com account.
2)Click on the “my purchases” link located at the bottom left portion of the page. You may need to scroll down your screen in order to see it.
3) The item(s) you have purchased will then be listed in the middle of the screen. Click on the yellow PayPal button next to the title of each item to complete payment through PayPal.
4)Complete all of PayPal’s steps until you reach the “Your payment has been sent” screen.
Our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) tab at the top of the MySkatingMall.com homepage also includes directions to solve common PayPal problems. If these resources do not fix your problem, we are happy to assist you when you send an email to admin@myskatingmall.com.
P.S. Great News!!! MySkatingMall.com has reached a major milestone. There are now over 3,000 figure skating dresses, boots, blades, accessories and more listed for sale.
P.S.S. Reminder: Our $1 per item per year listing fee begins next month. Even though this is more than the free listings over the last year, it is much less than the $.50 monthly fee that eBay is currently charging.
Each skating group registered to raise funds through MySkatingMall.com can now see a list of every transaction that raised money for the group! The picture on the left is a screen shot from a club that is already benefiting from MySkatingMall.com.
