I used to be a VIP member here.  I paid my TER dues with Paypal.  Now TER does not accept Paypal. I don't want to use my credit cards or personal checks to pay for anything relating to this hobby. That leaves only two options:

1) Go to the Post Office, stand in lines to get a money order, send it to TER and wait for a couple of weeks for them to grant me access, or

2) write a lot of reviews.  

Neither of these options work for me for me.  So I have decided to remain a basic member.
