PayPal froze the account!

[yeti]

As of today the PayPal account has been frozen for violating their terms of service. I wonder who we have to thank for that?

Anyway, at least the money in the account has been refunded to the donors, so the bastards at PayPal cannot use it for their own purposes.

To those who have been issued refunds, please reconsider sending the donation via snail mail or direct email through your bank.

Hi,

I was confused when I got the refund. How do I re-donate through email? When I click on donate via mail link in Firefox, it won't open. It is stuck half-through.

Bitcoin might be a good alternative...

You need to do it through your bank's web site. They should have an option to send money via email.

It should open your default email program with an email addressed to donate@concen.org. Check your system settings for the default email program. Anyway you can't donate using your email program. You need to do it via your bank or another service.

Seems to be only for UK merchants, but I'll look closer...

Uses PayPal, has horrible Terms of Use.

Has a very restrictive Acceptable Use and Activities Not Allowed but may be usable anyway.

Your bank must offer it, and it takes 6-10 days to receive payment!

From their home page:

Thanks for your suggestions. Keep them coming people - we'll find a few that we can go with eventually.

Should Bootlickers donate to Concen?

Of course! They especially should donate their money to help pay the bills, their bandwidth to help spread the wealth, and their time to absorb the great liberating info on this site so that they may free their minds of their self enslavement!

But you knew that...

I hope you will look at further options for taking donations since I do not live in the US and therefore cannot donate via email or have a dollar account to pay by snail mail.

We are looking at all options.

Where do you live? Does your bank not provide the ability to send money to an email address? Most do. All Canadian banks have had this ability for many years, as do most UK and Australian banks.

As for snail mail, I live in Canada's capital city, so I can exchange pretty much any currency easily.

Interac E-Transfers work for me using TD or RBC in Canada. You can send through interac email money transfer but the bank gets a dollar or so unless you have some kind of service plan that allows it or just counts it as a transaction.

I'm not sure what our European friends have exactly but likely something similar. I'd be curious as to what Email Money Transfers are dubbed as across the pond.

As Charlie said, BitCoin. It is a really interesting, and might I add tax-free, method of trading. The only downside is the value of BitCoins fluctuate, and so they would be like trading silver. The system has crashed before, and the creator himself said it was faith based, just like paper, except decentralised. I suppose if you exchanged to dollars rapidly after receiving BCs, it would work. Always an option. Now, the question is, does buying the BCs get taxed?

BitCoin would only be an option if it was part of a suite of options.
