Can't donate

I love your program, and wanted to donate, however I was unable to. There is some sort of issue with PayPal and my credit card (MasterCard). I am in the U.S., so I don't know if my credit card just won't let me use PayPal to donate Euros or whatever. Is there an easy way for Americans to donate? I have used my credit card in England and Canada with no problems, so I don't know why my credit card would have problems with Euros, unless it is PayPal specific.

I can't tell you what the problem is, but I would advise you to contact PayPal and see if they can help you. I always use PayPal whenever I make online purchases or payments as it protects the dissemination of your credit card data all over the internet. This is especially important when making a payment to an unknown vendor. It's the safest way to go for now.

Paypal usually gives you a reason for the payment's failure...did you get one?

"The card you entered cannot be used for this payment. Please enter a different credit or debit card number."

Has anyone else from the States had this problem?

Apparently, it's quite common: http://www.tipandtrick.net/2008/credit- ... ent-error/

Try those solutions, or google 'Paypal the credit card you entered cannot be used' for more options. G'Luck!
