I know, nitpicking and it won't get implemented anyway...

Still here comes my suggestion: Please change this link: "Pay Your Fees Now!"
into something more friendly like: "please pay your fees now"

I feel like a non paying user every start of the month

I like that suggestion to, but ONLY if the link is written in capitals to make
it all fit together: "PAY YOUR FEES NOW!"

I totally agree. I've always thought that it was worded rudely.

LOL - I remember the first time I had to pay fees and I got all paranoid because
I thought I had missed a payment or something. I suppose it gets my attention
each month, though!

You guys have to be kidding me!! The reason it has the word 'Now' is
not for the sake of demanding anything. Think about it guys, the word is part
of the phrase "Pay Your Fees Now" and is attached to a button that directly takes
you to a page to do what?... To pay your fees now, not latter but now.

It is the correct grammar for the situation and to add please to the button would
actually be incorrect because the phrase "Pay Your Fees Now is not asking you
to do anything, it is not a demand, not even a statement - it is a button.

By giving us the button, "Pay Your Fees Now", they are just trying to simplify
the procedure so that we don't have to hunt around to figure out how to pay
our fees.

good, perhaps they should add a button that says Pay Your Fees Later.

How should our buyers feel then, when using on-site PP payment?

All they get on their button is PAY.

On the other hand, my login button also says "Log In". Not even a please.
How rude.

Hi Jim,

It is funny how you use: "Pay Your Fees Now" instead of: "Pay Your Fees Now!"

One simple character can make a lot of difference

What would happen if you forgot the space between Pen & Is in the phrase "The
Pen Is Mightier Then The Sword." ? it gets dirty haha.

Question is: Why “Your” whereas it’s “My” everywhere else?

As a Buyer only I've never seen this pompous command, but if it's a button,
shouldn't it say "Pay My Fees Now"?

Good point. It does say "My Store" if a seller wants to enter the store pages.

Niek.
