Online payments wanted - FOR FREE (for charity)

egan007

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.

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?

i don't work with the hospice im just helping out with this - i presume they have researched and found that they will make more money this way
