Updating Membership (1 Viewer)

[emixa]

Good day. So I would like to see if a couple of questions can be resolved. I let my membership expire as a "paid" member due to job situation. During that time I noticed that at one time, I could post items for sale under the general sale section. After some time, I noticed that in the Marshian sale section, i was only able to post in the WTB, free, or other item sections only and not in the equipment nor species section. I think that when I questioned someone about it, their response was that maybe it was because it was that I was not a paid member. I was trying to read the entire by-laws section and thought that the whole purpose of the paid-members section was for this reason, and that non-paying forum goers had the ability to utilize the other section. Can I get clarification on this?


Next; I tried to look for the up-dated costs to be a "paid" member and do not see that. Can I get a link for that? I did try to click on the icon which allows you to pay for a single or family membership and it redirected me to a section stating that the currency was in error. I tried doing this multiple times and received the same results. So what I would like is a cost of the membership and possibly a link to the paypal section. I did try and source this from the forum and could not get the link.

Thanks in advance.

One more thing, I noticed that when I used to get a PM, it was linked to an email that I never had an issue receiving notifications from. For some time now, I have had to reference in my threads to text me as my notifications were not dinging me on the email side. Can I get a reason for that?

The Family Membership is $40.00. Here is a link to be able to upgrade your membership.

As for not getting emails, send me a PM with your email address and I will match it up with the one listed on your account. If it is an issue on your end, it is likely because of a spam filter setting. If this doesn't resolve the issue I will see if our webmaster can look into it.

Only paid members are able to list items for sale on Marsh. If you are in the process of upgrading your account and having issues, send me a PM. I will make sure you are taken care of. The BST rules are posted here. The Forum Rules direct you to that link.The Bylaws dictate the purpose of Marsh and it's purpose and operation. The Forum rules are separate.

If these instructions do not work, send me a PM and I will get you in contact with someone who can help.

Ok Chris, looks like the membership thing was an issue of dumb operator error. I found out what i was doing wrong and fixed it. I have made my payment and it looks like the status of guest to paid member is right away. cool deal. thanks again for the quick response. now if i can get the issue of my PM's fixed, that would be even better.

I'm sending you a pm Elton. Good to see you back!!!

Mark I can't remember does the system send out an email when it is time to renew membership or does it automatically come out from PayPal by itself?

 

[steveb]

If you paid through paypal then membership will automatically renew.. Note this is because its a paypal subscription. If you don't want it to automatically renew you need to go into your paypal account and disable the subscription. MARSH and/or MARSH paypal does NOT initiate the transaction. HTH

 

[Mark L.]

Thanks Steve.

another thing i forgot to ask. so you make your annual payment renewal. do we get new cards for the year? sorry but its been a while (my fault), but i used to have a card and it would allow us to get the whole discount at certain places. is that still something to take advantage of?

 

[Mark L.]

Yep we still do them Elton. Go to the members only forum and check out the stickied thread for member cards. Fill out the form and I'll send you one. You must do this each year since they have an expectation date.

Will it notify you when it is renewal time?

 

[Mark L.]

I believe your PayPal account will notify you when the payment is made. Since it's automatic the software doesn't warn you before.

I believe I got an email prior to paypal making the payment last time. I have it set up on my calendar too, but the email was nice. Maybe it is a paypal setting?

 

[mwilliams62]

Two more dumb questions... Does the membership renew at the beginning of the Year? Or on the date you renew your membership?

 

[Mark L.]

Thanks Thomas.

Mary it renews on the day you joined. Not Jan 1. All the info is in your PayPal account. Check your subscriptions.

Is there a reason why my PayPal auto renewal to Marsh subscription got canceled?
