[MLB-WIRELESS] PCI order wrap-up.

Ah feature creep now, corba back end with java on the side, 
muhahahahah!!!!

You may find it hard to validate a phone number unless you actually dial 
the thing and you
will hurt those without a phone.

TIB needs a way to identify that a transaction has occured. 
This is hard, banks don't give a transaction number on cash deposits into 
an account.
Not everyone has a credit card.

I think that this is also process issue for the organiser, purchases 
should not occur unless the 
organiser has been paid up front buy the requester.

If the organiser cannot uniquely identify the recipient then don't order 
the product.
The person will soon learn to provide all relevant information when they 
get nothing.

The organiser should not be going out of his way to satisfy difficult 
individuals. 
They are not paid for this, they don't have to put up with it.

I really think this is a job for the club organiser people as they are 
getting the treasurer
and secretary roles in place. This would be a role the club could 
undertake to maintain an
EBAY account, and to provide a mechanism for non card holding individuals 
to check their 
cash in somewhere.

On that note,
 
I have been throwing around the idea of having a phone numbers as 
manditory on TIB.
 
What are people's opinions on this?

I can assure you that most people who have not organised their own bulk 
buy yet have no idea whatsoever, the amount of stress their 
unco-operativeness with payments puts on the organiser.
It's a good idea to get contact phone numbers from people for BH and AH 
so that you can ring and abuse them rather than having to wait for 
someone who only seems to check their email once a month and expects to 
be able to pay you off with weekly 50cent installments for the next 216 
years.

(*aside* Honestly, I don't know whether it is because this is an email 
forum, but plenty of people here seem to be very very slack with paying 
up and responding to email.  And I thought I was tardy! *sheesh*  Roll 
on TIB - I have not had an extensive look, but can I suggest a feature? 
 set a feature that allows you to count (only?) those orders that have 
been paid for.  I have reached the conclusion that this is the only way 
to get a certain figure of how many people are actually in an order. 
 And as I am sure some here will testify, returning someones money is 
less hassle than chasing them for it or trying to sell excess stock)
