I am officially fed up with Paypal. Is there any other way I can donate? If not I'm afraid I will have to drop out of the Cadre.

sucks in what way?

A couple of people have successfully sent in checks (or cheques) for Cadre donations. If you'd like to go that route then I can send you an address.

I've used PayPal twice for membership to the Cadre and have never had a problem.

philcUK: Well, see all the horror stories over at http://www.paypalwarning.com/ . My own complaints include poor rendering of their website in Mozilla, and a fraudulent charge that they were no help whatsoever in resolving. Their customer service sucks and their TOS requires you to waive credit card consumer protection, so you basically have no recourse. As a last resort I started to add then remove my credit card every time I did a Paypal transaction; now that doesn't work either. I quit.

caedes: That would be perfect, thanks!

Paranoia will destroy ya.

Heres an idea start a seperate PayPal account and keep a smalll amount of cash in it then add the amount you want to send right before you send it.Just dont attach a credit card to it.I have looked over the link you posted and some of the complaints are not even paypals fault,for instance if you are stupid enough to give out your information just because someone sends you an email asking you kinda deserve what you get.

I've used paypal for a coupla years, and I can only sing high praises for them! Just get educated on the phishing schemes....never click any link in email to give out info-period!
