Question for @eFestivals what's the income from ticket links, camping shop, Amazon like? Significant in the grand scheme of things?

depends what year you're asking about.

It used to be a significant part of turnover (perhaps 25%). It fell away by a huge amount (around 80%), tho I appear to have improved things this year by a pleasing amount (tho still well short of previously).

I will take a guess that the email address used here differs to your PayPal one? @eFestivals will sort it out worry not

nope, it's not that for the stuff here, that's only for checkpage.

They use different paypal integration methods. Checkpage has the shit version cos it's what i did from a position of knowing nothing about it, so made some bad choices.

it should be instant. I'll take a look at what's happened with you and get back to you.

Cheers Neil, I thought there must be something amiss. I'll check my PayPal a little later on to see if it can shed any light on it too.

I can see your payment all correct in my PayPal, so there's no issue there.

However, in the forums software it's saying 'failed' and "Payment was refused" for the PayPal transaction - I've no idea why, it's not something I've seen before, so i'll put it down to a one-off glitch as other transactions when thru OK after yours.

The forums software doesn't give an option to make the failed transaction valid, so the easiest way to deal with this, I think, is for me to refund your original payment, and then for you to purchase 'gold' again.

Apologies for the hassle. I'll do the refund right now.

PS: I also cancelled the billing agreement for future payments.

Thanks for looking into this Neil. I've just had the cancellation emails so I'll try and put it through again.

All sorted now Neil and I'm a fully paid up member of the Gold club!

I hadn't even realised it was an option to be absolutely honest!

I'd been lurking for years, only occasionally posting, always bought off Amazon through here to help, guilt got me I think so went gold a few weeks ago and a bit more involved

Getting Glastonbury coach from Bristol on the Wednesday morning, hotel on Tuesday night,  so offer to Neil?  Drinks on me all night on Tuesday, you deserve it.

@eFestivals just in case you miss this post

Despite using these forums since 2014 I didn't realise there was a gold membership. I should pay attention more.

It will renew automatically unless you specifically asked it not to when joining.
