Ange Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Apologies for the delay - boating plus poor signal have got in the way of my new role. We're in a good signal mooring now and tomorrow is free so I've designated it my CWDF day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness Daniel has always received donations just not quite so publicly before 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 If the income is greater than the outgoings it would be really good if there were an addon to buy which would allow the direct posting of pictures. The present way is confusing to some and it means that if you decide to moved your photos to a different album then the link is lost. I think that I will post this as a suggestion too unless it gets a quick response from Daniel or Paul C N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtB Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 That seems a Good Idea. ISTR hosting costs were the reason for having images turned OFF in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ange Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Just had my first look at the activity on Paypal and there's a lot of donations that have had fees deducted. I don't use Paypal very much myself but seem to remember you need to flag the payment as friends/family rather than business to avoid it. Could be worth a new topic if someone clever can do screenshots and walk through the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be worth a new topic if someone clever can do screenshots and walk through the process. I just checked my paypal donation and the recipient is: "Merchant CANALWORLD.NET Verified" So being a verified merchant I suspect it isn't possible to designate the payment as to "friends family". I didn't notice any way to do it when I set mine up. I also suspect Dan knew this when he elected to accept contributions by PayPal only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0atman Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 That's it Mike your now a redundant fundraiser have you seen the new header .

DHutch Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 In fairness Daniel has always received donations just not quite so publicly beforeIts even been fairly public in the past. Just not in the form of regular donations. So being a verified merchant I suspect it isn't possible to designate the payment as to "friends family". I believe this is the case. CanalWorld's paypal account is a business account and hence I think non eligible for free transfers. There are a number of fee types, including one targeting 'micropayments' under £10.

bassplayer Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 'Enjoying the new server'? Yes thanks (seems pretty stable now). Question. Are those who have donated via the existing PayPal link on the 'About Us' page also had a PayPal deduction? Or Is that set up differently? I'm referring to this link http://www.canalworld.net/aboutus.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I'm talking about PayPal fees... Checking my PalPal account no fee was charged, but then again I made a one off payment using the original PayPal button on the CWF About Us link http://www.canalworld.net/aboutus.htm Maybe the fee is related to setting up regular PayPal payments? Maybe there is a way of eliminating PayPal fees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
