UPDATE 3: tested! Thanks. 🙂
UPDATE 2: The link in this post works, someone sent me a quarter and it went through just fine.
(I still need the button in the sidebar tested though.)
This is a test of the paypal link. You can enter any amount you wish, using any credit card (so far as I know) that you use. Denomination is in US dollars.
Would someone donate $1.00 so we can test it?
I’m looking at how to put the button in the sidebar so it’s easy to find but haven’t gotten that far yet.
UPDATE: button is now on the sidebar. It needs testing too. I’ve clicked on it and it seems to work correctly.
IF either of the buttons don’t work for you could you please let me know? Tell me what type of computer (Mac, Windows, -ix), what browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc), and how far you got in the process before it did something you think it shouldn’t have.
Thanks!

/ November 23, 2011Hey Alyce,
I can link the paypal account to my bank account. So if someone sends me something via paypal I can go into my paypal account, hit “accept”, and it will transfer to my bank account.
it isn’t set up yet because paypal has to verify that the bank info I gave them actually belongs to me and that takes a few working days. Seeing as this is a holiday weekend it may be next week before I can see if it actually gets to my account.
I think I can also have paypal send me a check directly but I’m not sure.

/ November 23, 2011Hi, Rachel. Yes, I’m the one you replied to, I am in Canada, and I did use the button on the sidebar. My email server isn’t working these days, for some reason, which is why I haven’t emailed back directly.
Thanks for the offer of a net bag. I’d love one, but the postage to me would be prohibitive. I get plenty of value just reading your blog, so keep it up!
Best wishes,
Katydid
