Lots, but don't discount those that don't. The Nocking Point doesn't but I 'll order from Mike in a heartbeat. Just call him up and get Mike, not a call-center order taker.

I got my Mercury and Nirk nocks in two days after hanging up the phone with Mike. Mike's shipping is on target too, and not an inflated shipping amount.

Double thumbs up to Mike and Brenda


Several trad vendors do, but I can't name them all for you.

I've got a paypal debit card that I can use anywhere VISA is accepted. It's pretty handy.

Just wondering. If you are dealing with an established  vendor or supplier that already takes a credit card, why would you want to subject them to an additional 3% fee?

I understand the protection thing with paypal and I use it on that auction site where the person you are dealing with is unknown.

I'll edit this stupid response because I see your reason now. Sorry.

I do but my supply of trad gear is limited to "stuff" needed to build all wood bows.

I believe he has funds in his PayPal account he wants to spend and does not want it deposited into his bank account. PayPal provides a service and there is always a fee for a service. It's a method to accept credit cards, in reality, the fees are not much higher than conventional Internet merchant fees.

You are right rraming, the merchant is charged 3% when the credit card transaction takes place.  I'm not sure if they still offer this (I've been a member for a long time) but the merchant gets 1.5% cash back when money is spent.  This doesn't include a withdrawal.

Yep credit card companies charge a percentage fee for use also. Paypal is good! All should accept it. Very simple to set up a business account.

I just placed an order this morning with Big Jim for the very same reason. I hate ordering with a credit card and think everyone should accept Paypal.
