harrihasler Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Just found this. It seems PayPal doesn't like it if you use it for donations other than for registered charities/NPOs. So you might want to find another way to get donations for your awesome project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 The issues brought up in your link apply to accounts under Singapore's jurisdiction. Paint.NET's PayPal is under U.S. jurisdiction, which does not have that particular restriction (to the best of my knowledge - I am not a lawyer).

Rick Brewster Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 They simply require that you make it obvious that the donations are not tax deductible, which is clearly spelled out at http://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Keeping your paypal account empty at all times is good advice. Also, never tie your paypal account to your main bank account. Always associate it with an account that you keep empty. Paypal can clear out your bank account at any time.

pyrochild Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Where does it indicate this? It's briefly mentioned in all 4 emails listed, and explicitly explained in the last one.

Rick Brewster Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Ahh. Yeah I noticed that right after I posted the question ... durr Well, PayPal has yet to bonk me on the head. I don't keep cash in there for very long though, I transfer out at least once a month, and the bank account it's linked to is kept pretty minimal too.
