Are there any plans to accept different forms of payment, i.e, credit cards, in the near future? From my experience, dealing with Paypal has not been my cup of tea.

It is, however, something I am willing to do, if it is the only way, seeing as PF has given me so much help without expecting anything in return.

Thanks guys,
Casey

Yep, that's how I do it too. If you start getting questions that sound like you're creating an account (creating a username and password), cancel out before completing the transaction (Paypal has had glitches before, and you might have hit a wrong button). If you just want to pay one time with a credit card, you don't need to create any sort of account with Paypal. If you can't figure it out, you can always PM Greg about it.

What is PF?

PF stands for "PayPal Funds." It is a method of payment that is processed through the online platform PayPal.

Why does PF only accept PayPal?

There could be various reasons why PF only accepts PayPal. One reason could be that PayPal is a widely used and trusted online payment system. Another reason could be that PF's administrators have found PayPal to be the most efficient and secure method for processing funds.

Can I use a credit card to donate to PF through PayPal?

Yes, you can use a credit card to donate to PF through PayPal. When you click on the "Donate" button, you will be directed to the PayPal website where you can choose to pay with your PayPal account or with a credit or debit card.

Do I need a PayPal account to donate to PF?

No, you do not necessarily need a PayPal account to donate to PF. However, if you choose to pay with a credit or debit card, you will still be required to provide your email address and billing information to complete the transaction.

Is PayPal the only way to donate to PF?

Currently, PayPal is the only accepted method of donation for PF. However, you can contact PF's administrators to inquire about other possible methods of donation.
