Andreas, thank you for your report on using PayPal. the FreeBSD mailing lists are probably not the place to enter into a detailed discussion on this. The Foundation opened a PayPal account at the recommendation of a number of individuals. so far, our experience with PayPal has been good. we expect that it will continue to be good. PayPal transfers money between its account holders. in order to donate money to the Foundation using PayPal, one needs a PayPal account. Part of creating a PayPal account is "tying" that account to a real money account from a bank...such as a checking account or a credit card account. From your report, i gather that for overseas residents, PayPal insists on a credit card...they then give you a $5 sign up bonus. PayPal is meant as a easy method of donation, particularly for those that find checks difficult for any of a variety of reasons. for the Foundation checks have the advantage that there is no service fee....we would welcome a check in place of a PayPal donation. Thank you for trying to donate to the Foundation.
