Post by darksun »

Hi all,
I wanted to make a donations to the puppy linux community but I can only see paypal as the method of doing so.
I do not use paypal, is there any other way?

Thank you all for keeping this excellent community like it is.

You can use regular mail which a couple of members did for the same reason. The most donators use only the PAYPAL portal as a one time guest to use the credit card or debit card payment processor PAYPAL provides for donations.

I don't use bit coin and have no other payment processing platform so the options are a bit limited. I'll be paying the rent for the next year in the middle of March.

Thanks from all of us for the consideration!! :thumbup:

Thanks for the info!

Seems that PAYPAL requires some additional information verification and until that is updated I will take the donation link offline until it is fixed!

Rockedge LLC seems to have disappeared from Paypal.
Is inforockedge@gmail.com the new link for Paypal payments?

Yes, I changed the setup and removed the LLC. It is no longer active and I used that account because it was there and not doing anything.

I have switched to a new improved account using the most up to date PAYPAL donation portal. The email is correct.

The experience should be smoother than with the earlier version.

@rockedge

On the forum about us at the bottom.

If that is your actual mailing address.

Can we use it to send you cash money and not use paypal?

I assume you would like US money?

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

This is not what I expected :o

@bigpup Yes that is the real address. US dollar because I am in the USA these days.

I think you successfully mailed last year or the year before?

Yes I did mail a donation to you last year.

No personal information, I needed to give to PayPal, or charges you had to give to them, for the service.

I still had to pay for snail mail stamp, but I see that as a needed charge, not what PayPal charges, for them to make a lot of money. :thumbdown: :!:

All the money completely goes to you, to support the forum.

I did not want you to have to post your personal address, on the forum.

But, now that you have to follow, what is required to be provided by a forum, like this.

About US, at the bottom of the form main page, now provides the mailing address.

I suggest if you mail rockedge a donation.

You say who you are, using your forum member name :thumbup:

@rockedge

Maybe you need to add the snail mail information to the donation link, so people know it is another way to donate.

A way to just give cash money directly to the forum support.

Probably do not want checks sent to you, but US cash dollars is easy to use.

The Post Office discourages sending cash in the mail. :thumbdown: Paypal or credit card is probably the best option for international transfers.

OK, send rockedge your credit card! :lol:

Wait a minute!

I get my replacement new credit cards by snail mail :shock: :roll: :?

Why is that OK and not also cash in the snail mail? :?

This is right up there with trying to pay a bill by phone or computer.
Must answer all kinds of questions to prove who you are.

Are there really people trying to pay my bills? :lol:
