YAY!!! congrats you guys!
VeryModern, if anyone deserves to win that 10 grand it's YOU! My honest opinion, after all the help you've given to Yahoo newbies & not-so-newbies.

CAgrrl - what a nice thing to say, thank you!
I don't know about deserving it, but I do know I feel lucky and sure would like a tropical holiday.

Question for those of you who have won -- approximately how many Paydirect payments do you receive per week/month?

I get average 2-3 a day but that does not equal an "entry". The sender gets the entry, not the receiver unless you have sent a "request". I only send a request if a buyer asked me to which is very rarely. (1 a week)

Wow, I checked out the rules. That's kinda bizarre. I mean, why not give recipients an entry, too? It would be an incentive for more people to encourage the use of Paydirect, and it wouldn't cost them a dime.
Anyway, my new question for the winners: Approximately how many entries have you had (payments made, and completed payment requests) since the contest began in early November.
Just trying to get some idea of the odds here. So far, they seem pretty darned good.
Also, from what I can tell, winning the daily prize does not disqualify you from the grand prize.
Also, you can enter up to 5 times per day for free via snail mail postcards.

Since November, I have collected (5) payments, and sent (3) payments. That's pretty dang good odds if you ask me.

Congrands Verymodern and all the rest. I also got a notice that I won today how COOL. There are so many sellers on Yahoo that don't use Paydirect maybe this will motivate them. I also posted it on the ebay message center here maybe it will give them some motivation. Anyone else yell just for the heck of it when they won : )

I haven't sent a payment or a request for payment since the sweepstakes started.... so I guess my winning constitutes really good odds.
I do receive 3-4 payments a week on average.

Well my lucky must be really bad! I send out Pay Direct payment requests with all my EOA notices. I started doing this before the contest. It makes it very easy for newbies.

I have started using the send a bill option as my Yahoo NBP alert. It really helps get the slow and no pay people moving when a bill comes from "Yahoo!"

That's a good idea Labbie, I may try that! Y'all stop talking about your winnings, I'm getting jealous.

What a fantastic idea! Thanks, labbie!
By the way, your comment about it getting people moving because it comes from Yahoo reminded me of a funny email i got yesterday...
I sent out an NPB for an auction a couple of weeks old.
A few hours later, I get an email from the buyer asking if I could send my mailing address ASAP because "I think Ebay wants us to get this completed." I love it!
