jazzboypro Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Done but my donation is under review, first time i see that. The donation should be confirmed/refused within 24 to 72 hours. Good luck in rebuilding this awesome site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wabashcr Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 dumb question...is this an international transaction? Yes, the money is transferred internationally, but PayPal handles that aspect of it. The payment amount is in AUD, and they do the conversion. You shouldn't get charged foreign transaction fees or anything from your bank or credit card, if that's what you're asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATGroom Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Hi guys, thanks so much for your generosity. Really touching to see the community do something like this. Thanks again for organising, Rob. More or less all the donations seem to get reviewed - possibly because of 'cigar' in the name. Don't recall ever having one rejected though. A few years ago they suspended my account until I wrote them an essay explaining that I wasn't selling tobacco, so hopefully I'm on the clear list now. For those of you who donated before Rob announced the competition, send me an email with your username and I'll put you on the entry list. I'll do an update on current site status in the other thread for those interested. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSXCIGAR Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I had something come up last week and put off donating. The raffle idea came just in time. Much appreciated Rob, and I'm glad to help repair and hopefully improve a resource I use more than I realized I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anacostiakat Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Done. My only comment is that I didn't realize it was in AUD and I couldn't figure out how to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helix Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 FYI : "After an initial review, we found that your payment may not be in agreement with our Acceptable Use Policy. Because of this, we need to put this payment on hold until we can make sure it meets our requirements." Made it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, is the amount I'm putting in the US $ amount or the AUD $ amount? If I want to donate $X of US dollars, do I do the conversion to figure out what that amount of $US is in AUD?

stogieluver Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I completed the process, and the amount you enter in the box is the AUD $ amount, so we in the US are actually entering less than we really want to donate. Just be aware of that. For example, if you enter $100, you are actually donating about $73 U.S. Yes, not much difference, but it adds up and means a lot to Alex, I'm sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
