Is there a way to donate and become a higher member without going through pay pal?
Im very skeptical giving away my info through computers no matter how safe it is. But Id like to pay for the 25 dollar a year membership and donate as well |
Hi Christopher-
I'm sorry, but we can only take credit card payments for such things and PayPal is our credit card processor. With any credit card transaction, private information is required (CC#, billing address, name, etc.) regardless of where and how you use your card (at a store, over the 'net, etc.). An extremely large percentage of the world economy is based on Internet transactions. Your credit card company has protection against fraud. I, personally, buy many goods online, be it books to clothes to concert tickets. I pay my bills and re-order supplies online. Heck, I even buy my groceries online and have them delivered. :)
I can do a one-time payment via money order or check or something, but not the subscriptions as they are handled automatically. The one-time payments are a bit weird for me, too, as I have to do a bit of extra work accounting-wise for such things but it's not impossible.
I'm not trying to talk you into trusting computers for finance stuff... but, well, maybe I am. haha... but don't feel obligated to try it out on this site. It's not that big of a deal. There are bigger fish to fry.
