    HI
    I'm doing some searching on behalf of the Mayo/Roscommon Hospice.
    They are running a project - They have built a house at zero cost,
    using very generous donations. All materials and Labour were donated.

    http://towns.mayo-ireland.ie/WebX?14@155.mBQYjza17VR.0@.ee887a7

    Now it's ticket selling time. They want to sell tickets online.
    The catch is this has to be done at zero cost.
    I need to find a company willing to handle the transactions for free.
    It's only until next March and will hardly be a burden to any company.
    If anyone can provide this service or knows of anyone please let me know.
    This is a very worthy project please help if you can

    Many Thanks

    Why not just use paypal to accept the payments?

    Yeah, I know, I've read that before, but they're looking for a short term, stopgap solution. also, Paypal EU is regulated under UK + EU financial law, which is tougher than the US equivalent.

    I should of said - no paypal - there is just too mch over head involved
    I don't want everyone to have to sign up for an account to buy a ticket.
    I can't emphasise enough the FREE part

    Nothing is free in this world!

    You could try realex or Worldpay and see if they'll do it...

    The house has been built for free - read above
    I have tried all the obvious means
    It seems that a few hundred euro might eat into world pays profits

    egan007 - paypal don't require that people paying sign up for accounts anymore - see https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/mer/WAX_landing-outside

    Also, why don't the hospice just sell the house? do they expect to get more from the raffle?
