I clicked on the Yahoo PayDirect button, but it said the minimum donation is $50. Thats a bit steep? I can afford about 25-30. Maybe I'll just stick to earning my keep by posting :(

Quite miffed that you have such a high minimum, I have to say.

The amount is actually $ .50 or 50 cents or fifty nifty miniature portraits of Abraham Lincoln.

what is the email address to donate to while using paypal i tried to connect to yahoopal and it was to big of a hassel

Dont use paypal
Yahoopal is a hassle.
I will have my bank send a check.

Done, and happy to do so.

...$250?!?! (Abe's on two different currencies...)

fifty nifty miniature copper portraits of Abraham Lincoln.

Here comes another 2500 little Abes...

actually, after trying to go through the "legal" hell of Yahoo Pay Direct , with all the bullshit terrorist crap, I will send (snail mail) $25. What was wrong with the old PayPal?
I really find it objectionable to answer ALL of the questions Yahoo raises based on the "Homeland Security Act". Is this the norm with any site that transfers money?
(I haven't sent money for at least 4 months...)
just wondering...:confused:

Sounds like that they told TFP to stop using them because TFP is an "adult-oriented" site.

Mods: You may want to add that to Zerocool's original post (saying that you can't use Paypal.. I read through half the posts to find that out, although it was good to learn a bit more about it.)

I'm pretty sure I donated, I had just created this payahoo account or whatever it is. It says the donation was successful, so I guess we'll see.

Thanks for a great board all!

Okay, so I donated on 10/9, and never heard back from anybody about whether my donation was received. I logged back into the Yahoo account today and it says my donation was cancelled on 10/15. Can somebody please look into this and PM me to see if the info on my donation was ever received? I PM'd Hal(x) last week and never heard back.

hmm sounds like I took too long to accept the payment... I've not been finding the time to go through donations lately
gonna try to get it going today if you wanna send again today

Dude...find the time to accept money! :)

I just re-sent the donation...please let me know either here or via PM if you've received it. I put in an e-mail to Yahoo just to see if it was on their end.

Just a question... what's the average turnaround on the "Donor" tag thing after donating? I know you've been busy lately, that's why I've waited about 3-4 days after you accepted my money.

After reading this whole thread I'm confused.

Yahoo wanted WAY too much information.
I'm told Paypal won't do it. But some have paid that way.
Who do I make the check out to? If I decide to send it that way.

I sent Hal a check on Nov. 3. Glad to help out (especially now that I have a job). :)

I think I'll do monthly donations too. :)

my donation is on it's way! actually, i sent it last week... - Halx, you checking donations lately? :)

it would be ncei if one could donate witha 900 number or somehting similar

I'VE JUST TRIED TO DONATE THROUGH PAY PAL TO NO AVAIL AND THEN THROUGH YAHOO.I JUST DON'T KNOW IF IT WENT THROUGH.WILL GO BACK TO YAHOO FOR ACTIVITY CHECK.

LET ME KNOW IF THE ORIGINAL WENT THROUGH--FROM YAHOO

Does it ever. My 40$CDN contribution is gonna turn into 30$US, whatever helps though.

I just tried to send in a donation through Yahoo Paydirect and when I tried to submit the order, I got a message saying, "Invalid email. [Message: 231]"

I believe they are saying that the email that is receiving the payment is invalid. Does anyone knows what's up?

Well, I miss the old PayPal but I have muddled through with my usual quarterly donation.

Long live the TFP!

a check is in the mail.

I put a check in the mail yesterday. I don't want to be a freeloader. Actually, part of me does, but I fight it.

Just sent a check for $100 via snail mail.

One thing that may need clearing up, who do you make a check out to?

I made it out to TFProject, hope that's going to work.

sent mine off this morning via usps- Halx you are officialy the only man with his pants around his ankles I have ever donated to- (as long as you discount the bell ringy salvation army guys.....)

what is this t-shirt thing? I've been on the tfp for 2 yrs and don't remember a t-shirt thing...

It's Christmastime ad I've been out shopping all day. I've been spending so much money on other things I had forgot about what keeps me going every day. Keep up the good work, money's on it's way.

Damn, I really want to make a donation, but the only way I would be able to do it is with paypal, since I happen to have 10 dollars sitting in there right now that I pretty much have no use for.

I know someone mentioned it somewhere...but there is no way to set up a private paypal that we can send too? And just don't provide a link to it on the fourms? I tried to set up a yahoo account and it kept saying it couldnt identify me over the internet and to e-mail them...so i did and they tell me to fax my SS# and a bunch of other crap to them to get the account set up...no way in hell am i gonna do that...Don't see why they couldn't set up an account w/ the same bank account that i use for my Paypal account /shrug...Will procrastinate for abit more time before i send it through the mail :(

Ok, I have read every post here and one thing that seems to have been overlooked:

I can log into my bank account online and enter a sort code and account number to transfer money to. Thus, Halx, if you were to put up your details, we could transfer money directly to your account. That would make things a little easier and also would remove the cut the yahoo takes...

Having said that, this does assume that UK bank accounts can transfer to US ones... Not really sure how that would work. I noticed an "international account number" appear on my bank statements a few months ago - do you have something similar?

do you get confirmation ? i donated earlier this week and i haven't heard anythiong back from the board, like a PM or something.

Mine just done

I'm finding some cash to toss in. What shows on your credit card statement?

OMG, paydirect is the worst thing ever!! I just tried using it and it wants to do way too much crap for a simple transfer. Also, there isn't a simple 'log in to donate' feature' that I noticed... hopefully you will be able to find some online replacement to make things a little easier.

I could swear I posted this question here yesterday.... how does the donation show up on your credit card statement?

did you guys every get my check?

Thanks to everyone who helps around here. Pay pal on the way.
