The Monthly Collectible FAQ --- Here to help!

[Tabitha]

Namine: I don't think so. You're viewing the game item tab, and the letters aren't game items. I get the exact same thing when I look at my game tab, though. It's weird.
The first page does advise you to be patient with mail-in purchases (numbers 17 and 19, fourth post) and guessing how busy everyone probably is at Gaia HQ, I would advise you to wait a few more days. After that, there are instructions in the post I mentioned on how to send in a billing inquiry for mail-in.

(By the way, looking up the information for mail-in donations made me notice that the US postal service operates under a 6 "business day hour". That took a couple of re-reads to parse. XD)

my bank allows me to email money from one account to another...would that be possible or ever be possible for buying collectables?

[Exodorius]

You have the patience of a saint, Arwen. heart

Wish I had that much patience. Waiting for a reply from the billing department about the white list, but it isn't been a week yet. crying

Edit:
heheh I found just as Tabitha found it Thanks

[Tabitha]

Touga - I hope you'll accept my answer to your question, as Arwen doesn't appear to be on at the moment.
You can find the table when you go to make a purchase through international mail-in. I've taken a screenshot for you. ^^

Thanks Tabitha

Arwen the postage from Canada to the US is now .93 cents.
I just thought I would let someone know.

Are the [NPC]'s and admin real people, or bots? My favorite admin is Arwen and Lanzer, so that's why I was wondering. Sorry for the stupid question, I just wasn't sure. sweatdrop

Oh, noes!

Arwen is not an Admin. She is just someone who has been on gaia for a very long time.

This isn't the sort of question this thread is about, but I'll answer anyways.

Aside from special occasions with the need for massive NPC posting (the halloween 2006 event) the NPCs are controlled by the admins and maybe other Gaia staff. There are some tasks that are automated for NPCs and the generic 'admin' account though. Like Marketplace notifications, Gstore notifications, etc, which makes them bot-like for some things.

Admins are real people--they are the people that create and run Gaia.

Arwen used to be a Mod with all the modly powers, but has since quit being a mod. She still helps Gaia out with this MC thread, and I dunno what else, because she's cool like that. She is not an admin. She just a normal user now.

Lanzer is the main admin, one of the main guys responsible for Gaia existing, doing alot of the coding for the site back in the beginning.

um u dont have the march collectables

[Aixe]

When I sent in $5 last month, I asked for the sealed envelopes for March, and then one for April. They sent me two for March. Why did this happen? Am I supposed to ask something specifically?

I tried to send in my money for a donation item by mail, but the post office said that the address didn't exist!
Do you know what was wrong?

They will ONLY give you the envelopes for the current month, you cannot backorder or preorder for any other letter. If you want an April letter, you must send them the money in that month. Thats all! smile

Ok I have a quick question.


Ok alright I pursued to make a purchase with my mom's credit cart, but I forgot her pin number. So I decided to mail it in. So you see when you go to make a purchase and you click mail in they give you like a form to peint out. I clicked online for 2 April items, but when I made the money order I payed $12.50 for 5 items. Will I get all 5 or two because that's the number I clicked for online the site.
-----------------------------------------------------
I mailed it Priority Mail on April 10, 2007. I have not gotten any items yet, but I know it will probally arrive sometime this week.
