Have you tried to register for Warpstock 2001 or purchase some merchandise, but had problems with the PayPal system? Perhaps you live outside the U.S. and were deterred by the 30-day verification delay? If so, then there is a solution. Registering for Warpstock 2001 and buying Warpstock merchandise can be now be done through our eBay store! The URL is http://www.ebaystores.com/warpstock2001.

The Warpstock 2001 eBay store lets you purchase the same items at the same price as with PayPal. It's just another method for OS/2 users to buy Warpstock tickets and merchandise. Some people prefer PayPal, others will prefer the eBay store. The choice is yours, and after all, isn't that what OS/2 is all about?

The key difference between the PayPal system and the eBay store is that the eBay store does not require you to verify your account with your bank or credit - a process which can take a month with Paypal for people outside the U.S. With the eBay store, payments can be made immediately, via MasterCard, Visa, Discover, or electronic checks drawn directly from a U.S.-based bank account.

Until September 1, the registration price for Warpstock 2001 is $90 per person for the entire weekend. The exhibitor registration fee is $500. The Saturday night social event is $50. You can also pre-purchase Warpstock shirts and coffee mugs, which can be either picked up at Warpstock 2001 or delivered to you.

The Warpstock Board of Directors and the Warpstock 2001 Event Team look forward to welcoming the OS/2 community to Toronto for the greatest Warpstock experience ever.

The 5th annual Warpstock conference will be held October 6-8, 2001, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and is produced by Warpstock, Inc., a North Carolina non-profit corporation. The Warpstock annual conference is a gathering of OS/2 users, developers, and vendors from around the world for the purpose of education and advocacy.
