Help for Payment by Credit Card & PayPal
A number of you have encountered difficulty when attempting to pay dues by credit card through the PayPal link on the website.
In particular, some users experience a message from PayPal (our vendor for electronic transfers and credit card charges) suggesting that the session has timed out and encouraging you to re-enter your data (presumably faster). This has undoubtedly proved very frustrating for some of you.
Through conversations with PayPal, we have been able to determine that the error message from PayPal incorrectly diagnoses the problem. That is, the problem is not caused by timing out, but rather by an incompatibility between PayPal's operation and the user's own "cookies" setting. After making your payment, you can change your cookie settings back to your previous setting.
First Option: you can adjust your cookies setting in a fairly quick fix that will enable PayPal to complete the transaction. If you choose this option, here are the instructions PayPal provided. (They look more complicated than they are).
- Go to the "Start" button and select "Settings," then Control Panel
- Select "Internet Options"
- Click on the "Privacy" tab, and then the "Advanced" button
- Check the box: "Override automatic cookie handling"
- Check the circles to accept "First-party Cookies" and also "Third-party Cookies"
- Check the box "Always allow session cookies"
- Then click "Ok" and "Ok" to exit.
Second Option: you can send your dues or conference registration by check and snail-mail. If paying by check please send dues payable to Society for Evolutionary Analysis in Law to the following address:
Vanderbilt University Law School
Janelle Steele, SEAL Admin. Assistant
131 21st Avenue South
Nashville, TN 37203-1181
