[UPDATE: Sale ended at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 4th 2013 Central Time. Many thanks to everyone who ordered prints! We will keep you updated as to their delivery status here on TOP. —MJ]
Our current Print Offer ends today. The order page is at www.topprintsandbooks.com.
The sale is scheduled to end at sunset, which is 4:41 p.m. U.S. Central Time. Although I probably won't actually close it down until more like 7:30. (Let's face it, the sun sets too early these days.) The ordering system apparently experienced some downtime for a while last night.
Here's the announcement of the sale, from last Wednesday.
Problems were few
By the way, a handful of people have had problems paying by credit card (through no fault of their own). I have no direct control over that—it's an automated merchant account that I've signed up for. However, there is also a PayPal option: it's at the bottom of the "cart" page:
...PayPal also takes credit cards through their own channel, so you could try that. If all else fails, you can choose the "Check by Mail" payment option and simply mail a check to me. And, if you had problems for any reason, sorry about that!
(For the most part the sales portal has operated smoothly.)
A final plug: Don't forget that prints make fantastic gifts. Easy to ship, because you can use the same nifty box the prints will come to you in. (I have to ask Peter where in the world he gets those beautiful boxes. [UPDATE: The answer is Duggal in NYC.])
All the orders are keeping us busy behind the scenes. As always, we hope you've enjoyed this sale, and thanks to everyone for your participation!
Mike

Mike - off topic, but give Skitch a look for your screencap and photo markups - http://evernote.com/skitch/ - it's free and works well.

I think your automated merchant account applies rules that will automatically decline any transactions from credit card that issued from country that had not-so-good reputation, such as some of 3rd world countries, to prevent from "carding". if that is what it was, it's normal. it's a protection for the seller and the card owner who don't want to get unwanted transactions.
my suggestions: (a) put explanations about the option of payment in some area of the site, i.e. their own rules and regulations. this might be general thing that apply in many commercial sites so you can firstly check from other places.
(b) don't put Paypal button below other options of payment so people who use small display monitor still can see them in-line clearly.
i wish you all the best, Mike
