DROFFNER #2 is in the email box of its subscribers


THE DROFFNER #2, a free email bulletin with the latest news, has gone out.

It is about the mess up with the PayPal buttons, which we thought had been corrected, but had not. People who thought they had signed up for a $5-per-month, 12-month subscription actually were charge one time for $5 with an automatic renewal in 12-months.

Did not find that out until #3 had gone out, so some people got three issues, but have only paid for one.

Only 8 people were affected and 48 hours after announcing the problem, half of those have subscribed correctly. I will give it a day or two and contact the other four to let them know about the problem and how to correct their subscription if they want. And if they don't they got two issues free, but the subscriptions for future issues will be gone.

There are new options on the subscription page. You can now get:

  • One issue - just to see what it's about. $6
  • 3-issues for $15, one-time charge, and since there have been three published you can get all three and not have to worry about future issues.
  • 6-issues for $30, one-time charge,  which will extend your subscription to #7 (remember, one was paid for)
  • 9-issues for $45, one-time charge,  because the longest Jorune zine only lasted 4 issues, so when we get to #5 it will be the largest number of issues for any publication*
  • 12-issues subscription at $5-per-month for 12-Months (extend sub to #13)
  • 12-issue subscription one-time charge, forr $55 - a little bit of a discount.

Facebook Chat/Pay button
You can use the PayPal Buttons or pay through the cash button on Facebook Chat windows, or just write me to arrange direct payment some other way.

Half of the subscribers affected by the August PayPal Button nightmare have corrected their subscriptions. I'll give it a couple of days, then I have to audit the whole PayPal account to identify those who were affected and do not have the subscription they thought they had.

This is just the second issue and the complex nonsense makes me wonder if I should abandon that and just do THE DROFFNER through the regular return2jorune@gmail.com account. I could do that.

The Droffner is such an ugly little reco, it deserves a home.
