Donations

[hayley]

I Tried to make a donation the other day ,as we live in France Pay pal decides we wish to donate in euros !! we want to donate in £s.!! i can get around this but when going through the PP payment it asks for the email address? so does the payment go to>> theteam etc etc Office, or does it credit VIA the individual whose post i click on to ??? Hugs to you all ....................Hayley & jewells

I'm not too sure about changing it for donations and things like that but this link might help https://www.paypal.com/ms/webapps/helpcenter/helphub/article/?solutionId=FAQ1030&topicID=&m=ARA

Hi Hayley

As far as I am aware a donation payment goes to Chris the designer and manager of the forum and is put towards server running costs, in the UK we do not run forums for personal profit as they do in the USA

Yes Hayley, as Topper says, any donations go towards the server costs and are much appreciated.

Have referred this to Chris, I'm sure he can sort it out for you.

By the way it doesn't matter what the currency is with Paypal, pounds or Euros. I've just carried out a test donation which defaulted to euros, but otherwise went through fine.

If in doubt, instigate a payment direct through paypal to (chris @ astra-systems.com) without the spaces, then you should be able to choose your currency.

Hi Chris it seems to be a common error that seems to be solved by clearing your cookies (from the cookie jar)
