Given that APAT has a Paypal account in place for the Staking arrangement, can we not utilise that?
Perhaps when reserving a seat, we send an amount (£5?) to APAT via Paypal, and if we turn up at the tournament, that £5 is shipped back after the event.... if we don"t turn up, it is retained.
Not sure how much admin that would invoke - is it possible to submit Paypal refunds in bulk?

I think PayPal would charge 3.4% +20p on those transactions Steve but not 100% sure x

I have a feeling the charges only apply when you withdraw the money from Paypal.... I believe that if you leave inbound transfers in your Paypal account, then outbound transfer them at a later date, there is no charge. I may be wrong though.

Surely there would be no need to refund anything if we just paid the casino £82.50 when we arrive, less the £5 already paid to APAT.
APAT then only need make one transfer of (max £1000 for a 200 runner event) whatever the amount is, and the casino have all the money. Any no-shows lose the deposit and the casino keeps their £5.
Des:
Steve - PayPal charge for all transfers, but nevertheless, it"s very unlikely they would allow us to do this type of transaction. They don"t allow APAT to make seat sales via PayPal for example.
Jenny - We would review how any changes to entry policy work on an ongoing basis and amend accordingly. However given the ability to keep seats on sale up to the day of the event, I would be very surprised if the overall impact was negative.
Rich - Yes you would pay the £82.50 to the casino as normal. We would not be sending the reservation fee to the casino. That"s an APAT / merchandising fee.

There is a "refund" fee charged by PayPal Steve.. presume this would apply from the T"s&C"s, but without trawling through not 100% sure.
"Refund Fee. Section 8.5 (Additional Fees) is amended to add a new refund fee. If you refund a Purchase Payment, we will retain the Fixed Fee portion of the Purchase Payment Fee. The buyer's Account will be credited with the full Purchase Payment amount and the Fixed Fee portion of the Purchase Payment Fee will be deducted from your Account in addition to the amount of the refunded payment. The Fixed Fee will depend on the currency of the Purchase Payment and is listed in 8.4(c)."

APAT would have to pay the PayPal transaction fees on each £5 I think mate so actually makes them worse off x
fandango:
What about having a system of "three strikes and your out"?
If you reserve a seat and don"t show up for the event you receive a yellow card say you miss two you get red carded and have one more chance, reserve and miss another then your unable to reserve a seat, and have to rely on getting a seat at the casino on the day?..
Dunno if this is feasible with admin and tracking etc.. but a serious player would hate to say be sitting on a red card and the WCOAP comes along and they are one strike away from not being able to reserve a seat..
Say you reserve a seat and have to cancel you need to contact APAT within a specific time span..
Personally I am happy to pay the £5.. Or a one off season ticket membership
