    I just donated $5 a few days ago but the box still says $720. Where did my money go? Please God I hope it didn't go to LeeDa....

    Unless my donation didn't go through? I didn't use Paypal, just a card.

    You can donate only through PayPal

    No worries. It takes a while. Even with a card.

    I've said it and I'll say it again: PayPal sucks, I hate it and I don't trust it.
    That's why the last time I paid, I immediately afterwards deleted info on my card from their system.
    I wish we could donate by card only...

    i imagine that the arrangment we have comes from a mixture of 1. convenience for porfiry..and 2. the absence of a legal liability in case of some sort of transaction error dealing with a bank account...that is a very different ballgame than paypal screwing something up.

    I understand and agree, but it doesn't lessen the suckiness.

    the difference is that there is no direct contact between a bank account, and porfiry.

    with paypal, the error couldnt be pinned on dave if something happened.

    no, i dont use paypal for the very reasons stated above by other posters. i made my account, used it to donate, and destroyed it afterwards.

    i was explaining the advantages to paypal for porfiry, not for us.

    I don't know either. Maar de friezen zijn eikels.

    Anyhoo. Must be an american thing to think that the pronounciation of American English sounds natural.

    That's because you don't know any other languages.

    American english is ugly to listen too.
