BlueRex? Updates?
That picture you posted is quite obviously on the outside of the car, is that how the production sticker will be?

Ramy, I'm sitting tight, but understand I've been "sitting tight" for almost 2 full months now..not that I'm going elsewhere, but it would be nice to have this sticker for Christmas...or at least before I move...
at very least, can you solidify the price so I can pay?

OK guys...I finally got it figured out lol. Trust me, this took a LOT of work (b/c there are tons of constraints apparently on what you can and can't do w/ reverse cut stickers). So here are 3 pics of the interior sticker.
I'd like to remind everyone that the sticker looks VERY nice in person, especially when mounted to the windshield...but unfortunately my camera skills (or lack thereof) make it very hard to demonstrate that =-/ The interior & exterior stickers both look identical (in brightness, contrast, color depth, etc). So yea, I'm not sure why on camera (but not in person) they look different haha. I'm such a camera n00b
But yea, here are pics of the interior sticker. Again, they'll be precision cut so there is no rim or border around the stickers. Cool?
Once everyone ok's the stickers (interior & exterior), I'll post the final prices, accept final payments, and get the stickers made and shipped out promptly.
Thanks!

Get er rolling Ramy......price and such and we can start this GB!!
Oh and just a quick Q, why do you guys charge extra 3% with cash PP? I thought the credit cards were the only part that PP charged 3% ontop

Thanks guys. If you only knew how much work this teeny weeny sticker took. One of the most time-consuming GBs I've EVER done lol. Go figure...
I'll try and post pricing tomorrow. I had to double check w/ the shop on something b/c I had to make some changes to the sticker format to get it to work. The pics you guys saw are indeed of the FINAL sticker, but I didn't discuss whether or not I'll be subject to an additional charge for the last-minute minor changes...
Oh and Mazdabation, Paypal is dirty. TECHNICALLY, Paypal only charges you for credit card payments. But that's only in ONE specific scenario w/ a specific type of transaction (long story). Bottom line is, if I have an account that ACCEPTS credit card payments (which I do), then ALLLLLL payments to my account are subject to a 3%+ surcharge, REGARDLESS of the method of funding (be it Paypal balance, Instant Transfer from your bank account, credit card payment, etc etc). Most people don't realize this. And most ppl don't even know that Paypal actually charges MORE than 3%... The ONLY way around the fee is to send money via the E-check method, which takes 3 - 4 business days to clear, and still has a $5 flat fee surcharge. So it's only worth it for significantly large payments.

Crispy, that may work if you operate on a very low amount of transactions. But if your transactions are much larger, then the secondary account is utterly useless, as there are EXTREMELY low withdrawal limits on it (IIRC $500 per day). My last GB was over $10,000 alone. You know how many days it would take to withdraw that amount?
Plus, from experience, I can tell you that there's a considerable danger to running multiple accounts w/ Paypal, given their essentially arbitrary automated security systems. Too much activity b/w linked accounts, and BOOM...you've just had BOTH accounts frozen, no matter HOW much money is stuck in them at the time.
I personally feel the small Paypal fee shouldn't be an issue to anyone. On small transactions, the fees the buyers need to add are almost negligible (for me they add up very quickly). And if you want to send cash (that's the premise here, right? You don't need to use your credit card), that's what E-checks are for. But no one ever wants to pay early/on time...

Negative...ATM maximums are totally dependant on what bank you use. My bank has a limit of $1,000 - $2,000 per day, depending on the type of account you have (ie whether or not you're a baller), and of course that's over multiple withdrawals (but all within a 24 hr period), since the ATM slot can only fit so many 20s at once LOL.
Anyway, enough off-topic stuff plz.

Well we're ready to resume the GB, but one of the employees made a mistake with the quote on the stickers. Look for this GB to get rolling again as soon as we hear back from the supplier
