Title: Donations for the forum
Post by: RedRotors on May 25, 2009, 02:32:27 pm: Hi guys,

I got emails from peoples that wanted to donate to the forum but didn't know how. The best way is
via paypal. Here's the paypal address :

Code: [Select]
[email protected]
Just a little reminder that ANY donation is appreciated. All donations are used to pay forums fees ( hosting, DNS )
and to upgrade hosting plan if needed. I want to keep this forum free of ads or excessive banners.

TIA.

Marc/

Post by: subsonic on April 10, 2010, 09:50:49 am: Suggestion:

How about we start a section in the for sale area where the procedes go to the site for support?

Example:

I have a extra pulley, intake valve, etc...
List it in the forum supoport thread.
Pay pal info would be for the forum.--RR
Still have to fugure out the shipping aspect.

Comments on idea improvment?

Post by: maxfax on April 15, 2011, 07:05:50 pm: I like the idea... Although from the logistical standpoint it may be easier to do it for say just a week.. Sort of like a fund raising garage sale?? I suppose the easiest way to handle things as far as shipping would be to pay the seller, and then the seller makes the donation.. I hate the idea of Paypal getting fees twice though.... Do they have a "feeless" donation option???

Post by: Baron VonZeppelin on April 15, 2011, 11:24:16 pm: No Fee Paypal

If both parties in the transaction have Non-Business / Non-Merchant accounts
= Yes

Payment option - Personal
Type of payment - Other

I've got some pieces that a fellow VW Dieseler sort of gave me - that neither of us need. Told him i would split proceeds if/when i could sell them. I'm sure he would be happy for the proceeds to benefit the forum.

Maybe the items could be offered as semi-auction.
Best offer posted within 5 days - from timestamp of posting.

Post by: maxfax on April 16, 2011, 12:08:16 am: Excellent!! I kinda like the bid idea.. To keep traffic and clutter to a minimum maybe we could do one thread in the For Sale section.. People participating post up their wares, all bids/questions can be handled via PM... When the item is gone, edit the post stating so...
