Hi,
received the PM with the request to contribute.
Would like to do that but I don't own a card anymore. I do have Paypal.
What to do?

I'm not sure if things have changed within the past month, but this is what I found.
It's a fantastic idea, but PayPal would be my choice of payment method. If you are a resident of the U.S., you can request a card from paypal to use, which will give access to the account, if you do not have use of a bank account you can transfer the money to. I have a digital card number from PayPal (works only with online purchases, so donating to ProBoards through the contribution page would be one use of it). Also in the past month, I had applied to get a physical MasterCard Debit Card through Paypal, so I could also use it as a bank account, if I ever switched permanently to PayPal for banking. I recently paid my month adfree for my forum, with the mastercard debit card I got from them, so it is possible to use PayPal to donate, if you do not have a bank account to move anything over. Without trawling through all the previous pages, I assume contributing via paypal is still not possible? I'm UK based and don't have a PayPal card, just a PayPal account. GH. I'm sorry but we still are unable to accept Paypal payments.

Bunnie. just to confirm and clarify what bigballofyarn posted, while we are unable to accept PayPay as a method of payment, the PayPal cards Joshua Farrell referred to should work just fine.

.
OK ProBoard folks, then how about you actually signing up to PayPal so that we can contribute? A PayPal card is no use for anyone in the UK.
I don't need crowns and badges and my name on a list, I just wish to support your great work by contributing.
By PayPal.
Get on to it, Please!
PLEASE!
Many thanks

theogriff , we would like to offer PayPal as a payment method, however that decision is not up to us: Hi, I know this has come up before but I'm happy to reiterate. Paypal refuses to work with us. At one point a long time ago we accepted Paypal. One day, Paypal banned our account and held it under investigation (with all of the funds still in the account). We're still not sure exactly why Paypal took this step but all successive attempts to open a new account or speak to someone at Paypal about opening a new account has been met with silence or generic rejection. Paypal is obviously welcome to reject our business, we'll likely never know exactly why they've decided to do so. With that said, we're open to investigating other payment methods! Quote is from this support thread: Please add additional payment method

I don't know why Paypal won't work with you/Proboards, Scott, none of my business. But I have money with Paypal, and I'm willing to contribute, but not by using a credit card. I'm sorry.

We totally understand that this is a restriction for some people and we always appreciate the sentiment, even if you are not able to contribute financially. Thank you for using ProBoards. I know you've been on the platform a long time and we always appreciate your continued support!
