Re-newed my membership- now what?

[tnglock]

I re-newed my membership through PayPal a couple of weeks ago, but have not heard anything back from it, not even a e-mail. So I was wanting to now what is going on? how long does it take to get a reply that it was recieved? I would like to know that at least that it was recieved and being processed.

It can take a while. IIRC, memberships are only processed about once a month. I don't believe that TFA has any full-time employees, and almost all work is done on a volunteer basis. Wouldn't you rather have your money go towards something useful than towards a full-time secretary?

I agree, but it would be nice to know that it was recieved, and not just left hanging wondering if it got to them.

Transactions through Paypal (and GunPal once we get it operational) should generate sales confirmations automatically through Paypal.

As was said, TFA is still predominately volunteer based and we struggle with the increasing volume of memberships to manage them. Its good news but as we can it looks like TFA will be in need of a new plan in the near future to perhaps actually hire some part time staff.
