now that all the donate buttons say and lead to yahoo paydirect, can i still donate via paypal? i just told my paypal account to transfer funds over to donate and i don't have a credit card :/

I can´t use paypal or yahoo cause my international credit card is not accepted by them, i´d like to send a check, where do I send it and to the order of whom???

It says in the beginning of this thread...

sorry but no. If you can, use Yahoo, and if not, there's snail mail (as mentioned above)

Yahoo PayDirect works the same as PayPal, but we cant use PayPal anymore because of their policies. You are able to link your bank account up to PayDirect if you dont have a CC.. it takes a few days though. Don't worry, we'll still be around. Sorry to put you through all this.

Hal, I know you're busy, but I was wondering what the change in the PayPal policy was that forced the change.
BTW, it won't stop me from donating.

I'm assuming those of us that donated over the last couple of days through paypal are still okay and you will get the funds, correct? ( I donated on 8/11)

i will donate....but...ya know........mmmmm.....yeah

I donated on 8-8 via paypal, but haven't heard anything back yet. The money did get where it's suppose to go, though.

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I want to donate (again!), but Yahoo will not let me use my Canadian credit card.

What is it about PayPal that you guys don't like?

I'm not angry at you, I'm angry at whatever it is PayPal did to piss you off.

So, I'll send by snail, and it will get to you in roughly 15 weeks, give or take (I'm mailing from Korea).

Now, I can write a personal check, but that account is in Canadian Dollars. Will it be possible for you to cash the check if I just write, say "20 US Dollars" in the amount field? It's a CIBC regular checking account.

I'd appreciate more options for donating -- maybe something you could do in the future.

*sigh* please read more carefully.

As for the deal with Canadian dollars, I don't know so Hal will have to answer that. Thanks for not giving up :)

I read everything. My question has still not been answered satisfactorily. What, specifically, is it about PayPal's policy that forced the change?

Just Curious, no worries, k?

k, sorry I misunderstood. it's not a matter of us not liking anything. Basically, we're an adult-oriented site and Paypal doesn't allow that.

How long before donations get confirmed ?


Thanks.

That was my concern also, that PayPal would just keep my money.

It's been over a week since I donated.... haven't heard anything yet. The money was accepted, though.

I just hope it got to the right place.

if you have questions.. READ PLEASE ... it's all in this thread

DOH! I just transfered money to my paypal account so I could donate, but I only now realize you don't use paypal anymore.

Oh well, Check coming in the mail from southern california, should be out tommorow if I remember.

Dills03 has just contributed $50 through Yahoo! PayDirect. It's easy. You can too.

Yahoo! PayDirect
You have just sent $50.00 to TFP (xxxxxx@yahoo.com). Thank you!

i put cash in an envelope & mailed it yesterday.

i didn't like the yahoo paydirect asking for my ssn.

You know how I said I would mail the check that day unless I forgot... well I forgot. But now the letter with the check is in the mailbox waiting to be picked up. You will recognize it because the paper that I folded around the check has trade information of goods from the Carribean on it... That and I put my nick, and a little note too.

how long after we donate does it usually take to register with our account?

I donated today, its certainly worth every penny!

Did my part.

Now back to post-whoring on the Motors section.:D

just donated via yahoo for the first time... boy did that suck..
took me half an hour almost...
username
ok we need your password...
date of birth
address
now we need your pets name
username again cause that ones taken
need a different password
and my other pets name..
and ssn
and username again

anyways i used my paypal credit card to pay for it,
and i plan on using that card strictly for porn from now on.. :)
take that paypal (i'm sure they care)

/END BITCHIN...

I just clicked on the Donation thing at the top of the page. I am thinking about donating...But it said the minimum is 50 dollars..I don't have 50 dollars to donate, I was thinking maybe 30 or so.

Help.

That's $.50 not $50 ;)

haha...Fuck i'm stupid:crazy:

Ok, I have never done this shit before.

I filled out my Credit card Info..Below that there is a billing address..Do I have to fill that out?

I live in Canada and there is no where to put my Postal code...Only a spot for a zip code...And it's required.

Why do I have to fill out the billing information for anyways?

EDIT: I don't think Canadians can use this to donate, I tryed filling out the Social Security Number..But it won't let me put my whole Social Insurance Number in the required field.

Don't know what to do now

So that counts us brits out too. :(

Why is it so few of these things accept non US cards.
PalPal is the only one that I know of and it took them years to start doing it. Not even the Amazon.com honor system allows it but I can still buy stuff off them with a non-US card.

Holy shit-on-a-stick spanky, it's Zero! LOL

Dammit dammit dammit, I've been trying over and over again to get verified on PayDirect and it keeps telling me it can't!
I am a regular US citizen, with a regular US checking account, and a regular Visa credit card. It's telling me my social security number is wrong... that's kinda scary. Ah well, I have to go to the bank tomorrow, maybe I'll get some more checks being as I only have my one "emergency check" and this isn't really an emergency.

Yea -- I was finally financially able to donate. Silly me, I had to ask Lebell how to do it other than "snail mail" as I usually use Paypal. It was easy to just click on the link at the VERY TOP of the page and only took about 4-5 minutes to fill out the forms. Thanks for a well managed and fantastically open site!

Donation assistance
 

So do any Mods have a personal Paypal account I can send money to so they can donate on my behalf?

Yahoo Paydirect does not accept non-US credit cards. And yes, there is a world outside the USA!..

:)

Mr Mephisto

I guess you can use the snail mail with a money order though I understand what a PITA that would be.
We'll see what we can do otherwise.

I use snail mail and money orders.....works just the same, just a little slower! Oh, but the exchange rate sucks big time!!!!

Should have read before posting!

I -think- I donated...what a dumbass..full of second-guesses. Well here's to the magical e-payment! I'll watch for it on my bank statement. If it didn't work? My apologies to Halx.
(I'm not sure if the confirmation email was for registering on yahoo, or actually paying up the dough.) I'm sure it was. *repeats to self once a day for 1 month*

Just sent some cash by Yahoo. No problems.
