my OB told me if i wanted to try for a boy the man has to ejaculate more than 5 times a week. so basically she said "have alot of you know what" before you ovulate and during ovulation make sure he ejaculates more than 5 times a week. you are at a higher rate of having a boy that way. i have (different dad)1 boy 2 girls and one girl on the way (me and my bf arent that intimate) so we are more likey to have a girl and not a boy

Thankfully I"ve never had that happen. Propay only requires certain info to process the card. But on top of that info I also have the customer sign the receipt and I get their phone number. That way if there is a problem I can call. I guess a customer could give me a bad card and a bad phone number but I figure .....who is going to come to a craft fair with a bad cc? People commiting fraud are going after electronics and bigger ticket items, not $40 worth of bows. I understand there are total jerky people out there but I'm trusting. I think you can read people to. The average Mommy coming into my tent with her 3 year old and 16 month old in tow while her hubby stands outside the tent eating kettle corn isn't going to pass a bad cc.

I don't know how to put 2 quotes in one thing! You don't know if it's declined or not until you enter it but if that is really a big fear of your's you can go with a different cc processing company and get one of those little machines that you swipe the card and it tells you instantly if it's approved. I didn't go with that because the machine can be VERY expensive.

What!!! That's crazy LOL! I"m not sure I beleive any of that "if you do this or that you will get this kind of baby" I"ve had other people say stuff like that to but I think I'm a firm believer that you get what you get. I'm fine with the girls. The more I run into little boys the more I'm thankful for my girls. Boys and girls are just wired differently and I'm not sure I could deal with a boy.

I beleive that propay has the option of entering online only (cheaper) and then the option of online and over the phone, which costs a little more. I am so looking into this for me.

If you have a laptop, you can take it with you to show that are in places that have wifi. Most schools have them or if you are near a place that has it and you can tap into it. Or you can have someone at home ready and waiting to take card #s for you and enter them online. Or you can get the over the phone service and call it in yourself. You will know before they leave if the card is approved.

It is also good to rub a copy of the card, a signature, get thier phone # and state id# and billing zip code as well in case of a charge back. Anytime you take any type of payment besides cash, you run the rish of people putting stop payments on checks and money orders, or doing chargebacks on credit cards. Taking paypal doesn't guarantee you are protected either. So you just have to cover every angle. When you ship something it's easier because you had proof you sent something. When its in person, unless you got a security camera, its harder to prove that you gave them something. Thats why you get an impression of thier cc.
