Our digital market stuff currently offers paypal, crypto or stripe.  For paypal, you should be able to use credit card stuff through there without having a paypal account, but sometimes paypal insists that you have a paypal account.

Once in a long while, somebody wants to buy a thing, but not use these options.  So we came up with this option a long time ago that we call "manual processing fee $10" - you pay via some other way, complete with an additional ten bucks, and I will manually get that to you.  

Here are ways that people have paid me:

  - amazon gift card (paul at richsoil.com)
  - zelle (paul at richsoil.com)
  - wise (paul at richsoil.com)

Some people have sent me cash:

Checks have been a problem.  I would really rather not try any more checks.  Half the time i can instant deposit, but the other half, i have to drive into town and do the whole thing of going through the drive-up teller line.  


Whichever way you choose, please add $10 for a manual processing fee!

It's kind of like this - paul's current consultation rate is $200 for an hour.  Maybe processing a payment manually takes, if all goes well, 1/20th of an hour, or 3 minutes.  More often, I would guess that it takes much longer than that.  In my mind, it is very generous of Paul to be accommodating in this way.

We have now turned off automated crypto processing in the digital market.  Too much work and not enough people were using it.

Any chance of taking a debit over the phone?



I have no way of processing that.

I have stopped all crypto.  It just became too much hassle due to being way too broken.  Maybe someday the crypto stuff will work 10x better than paypal.

it is in beta atm:

X began a limited rollout of its Money service to select U.S. Premium+ subscribers, allowing instant peer-to-peer transfers powered by a Visa partnership and licenses in over 40 states. Early perks include a 6% APY on balances, FDIC insurance up to $10 million, and personalized metal debit cards with no foreign fees. Announced by X Money lead Dhruv Batura, the beta follows years of teasing and aims to build an 'everything app' blending social media with finance, drawing lively user exchanges like Musk's $100 'xAI founding contribution' to Batura.
