You can use the donate button to raise money for a sick cat, but not poor people.
What does this even mean?
The actual issue seems to be that a "for-profit" company is collecting for "charity" not an individual or a non-profit, but they sure don't actually say that in their rules nor are they explaining it well.
That response speaks to what I would have assumed was their problem -- if you think you're making a
tax-deductible
donation or not.
PS: I wonder if we should be doing anything different with the buffistas account. Maybe give me a "gift" in the future?
Okay, I did see that question and I didn't know off-hand.
However, I did have a notion of where to look. There's a forum for photographers where they share scans of vintage magazine layouts with a focus on the design/layout/photography instead of the fashion.
Let me see what I can find.

It's like I don't even know you.

For PayPal's policy to be clear, the rules should say: "Individuals can use the Donate button to collect money for charitable causes. However, only 501(C)(3) corporations can use PayPal to collect charitable donations."
What I don't understand is why PayPal didn't just tell the Regretsy people to donate the toys to a 501(c)(3) organization such as Toys for Tots and supply proof they had done so.
Man, I wonder if that Paypal rep is getting verbally smacked around at all at work, or will the shame have to do?
I mean, rules are rules, but if you can't talk to people, your job shouldn't be about talking to people. The Communications guy? Knows how to talk to people.
Does that Paypal guy look like an Indian Jerry Lewis to anyone else?
