I saw your link and thought the basic info was interesting. When I went to order, I notice 'TIP' ... WTF? 20% even. I know you can turn it off, but it highly offended me, for the following reasons:
1) TIP - To insure prompt service - its an online order. What no tip maybe obtain the material through a dial-up modem?
2) It is a course ... Next thing you know my rent due will come with a TIP request.
3) You never TIP the owner. Tipping the owner is an insult to the owner.
He's using Gumroad (which I use as well). Gumroad turned on tipping as an opt-out feature for all sellers around one or two months ago. If you had a product you were already selling on Gumroad, like I was, the tipping feature was automatically enabled for the product and you have to go in and manually turn it off.
I felt the same way you do about tipping for an info product, but I left mine on and people do use it; turning it off would be turning down extra income.
FYI, this backronym is nonsensical. It would only make sense if the gratuity were paid in advance, and then again only were it called a "tep," to ensure promptness.
