Crazy Canadian Coalition Political Bingo

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Politics in Canada are certainly interesting this week!

I’m sure if you’re reading this, you’ve already got an opinion on the matter, I know that I do.  But this isn’t a political blog…

Today, I mark for posterity the insanity of the entire situation with a set of custom bingo cards from our site print-bingo.com. You’re free to use them for a laugh, or maybe to teach a class lesson about the political issues at hand.

So, click here to load our Crazy Canadian Coalition Political Bingo design.

As always, basic use of print-bingo.com is free, but you’re encouraged to upgrade for $10 to get more features.

Comments are always welcome on this blog, but keep it clean and civil.

Summer Break Bingo

We meant to get this new word list ready about 2 weeks ago, but somebody spent a bit too much time enjoying the sun to finish on time… :)

We have a new word list for the end of the school year.  So, create and customize your bingo cards, by visiting print-bingo.com and opening our template word list for the Last Day of School bingo game.

As always, the basic use of the site is free.  You can currently unlock our Premium features for only $10.

Have fun in the sun!
Let’s see if we can get a Fourth of July word list done before midnight, shall we?

PayPal Changes it’s Canadian Pricing

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

I read some good news for small businesses in Canada who use PayPal to receive credit card payments.  The transaction costs have dropped by $0.25.  I’m happy, especially since our print-bingo.com transactions upgrade price for Premium access price is currently $10 so percentage wise, the extra $0.25 has a noticeable benefit on our margins. *

The percentage that PayPal takes also drops if you’ve gone past the 3000 per month bracket.

In my humble opinion, PayPal is now an even better deal for small scale web sites. The threshold where I would spend the time and money to move to a merchant account with a bank just got bumped up by a lot.  I’ve helped set up a “proper” merchant account for a client in the past, and it’s not fun nor cheap.  And programming for PayPal is really nice in comparison.

Also note that the entry level currency conversion for Canadians at 2.5% still stinks.

At Perceptus, we use a US based USD chequing account through RBC Centura where we withdraw our funds in USD.  Then we either convert to CAD with the somewhat better bank exchange rate, or we pay Leonard in USD to avoid exchange costs altogether.

* Hmm… what’s with that emphasis on the word “currently”?
