Donation Problem

joea · 12-20-10, 01:13 AM

Well after a couple of attempts (including getting messages in German) to donate - that made me miss the deadline - I am coming here for help. I get a message my cc cannot be used for payment - no the limit is not used up

- it's a mastercard which is one of the cards accepted for payment. Any idea what could be wrong???

Send a PM to Neal,he helps you,most cards work if you do not want to go through PayPal!

Have you tried registering it with Paypal?

Don't worry about that part. Donations are welcome any time of year.

Similar to what Steve said.....make a donation to SubSim anytime your able.

Yes, that's true, donations are always welcome. Since the donation downloads like Pacific Aces are long gone, donations are the only thing keeping the website online (there is a little from advertsing). The recent fundraiser produced enough to cover costs for the first six months of 2011. Hopefully as the months go by, there will be enough donations coming into cover until next year's fundraiser. It's pretty likely that I will downgrade the server in March, since it's unlikely there will be any new sub games for a long time.

Joea, not sure what is the problem with using your cc with Paypal. If you have a PP account, definitely contact them and see what they can do. Thanks, man.

That's good news.

So if I PM you, can I send a Postal (or bank) money order in U.S.$$$ by snail-mail?

Aye, and my snail mail address can be found on the donation page, if that helps. Thanks!
