All payments for donations or paid member DVD's, should be made with PayPal preferably (and you can make a Credit Card payment using the Paypal website to process the transaction without joining PayPal or creating a PayPal account), United States Postal Service 'USPS' Money Order, International Money Order (that can be cashed at a United States Post Office), Personal Check (that can be cashed in the USA), Cashiers Check, or Cash in US dollars to -

Email me if there's a problem david@kz1300.com
After you click the "Make a Donation" button it should come to a screen that looks like the following screen shot:
So, in the "Payment For:" box you say something like
"member DVD's". In the next field: "If you do not currently have a PayPal account", you click the "Click Here"
button next to it if you don't have an account with PayPal
now. When you
get to the next screen or the one after, they'll be a "Comments Field"
box where you can fill in a description of what you're buying and there will be
places to fill in your credit card info if you're paying that way. You can
sign up for a PayPal account as part of this process but you don't have to. If you do have a PayPal account, you will need to know your PayPal account login and password.
The login is actually your email address, but some people have more than one email
address, so you need to know which one you use for your PayPal account and whatever your password is.
I realize this page automatically fills in my david@kz1300.com email in the "Email Address:" field, but you just type in yours
instead, enter your password in the next box, and click the "Continue"
button.
Same thing when you get to the next screen, or the one after. They'll be a
"Comments Field" box where you can fill in a description of what
you're buying, and there will be places to fill in your credit card info if
you're paying that way, or you can pay from your existing PayPal account balance. There seems to be differences between credit cards issued in the USA versus
cards overseas. You will be or may be charged a fee for using this service, and
the fees range depending on your country you're in.
As far as I've been
told though, it will notify you of whatever charges apply before you finalize the
transaction in the PayPal screen. Also,
if this is your first Credit Card payment through PayPal whether you have a
PayPal account or not, the first time you pay with a credit card through PayPal you have to
get an 'expanded use number' for that particular
card. If you use a different credit card on PayPal at a later date, you'll have to do the same for each different card you may try to use.
This number will show up on your credit card statement, but it may be some time before you get your
statement. After a few days (maybe 3-5 days) if you have the ability to log in to your
credit card account online, you should see that expanded use # and you can go back to PayPal and finish the transaction. This
is a special number you obtain from the credit card company so you can use your
card to make purchases online.
Now I'm not sure, but if you choose not to sign up for a PayPal account, they may
make you get an expanded use number
again at some point in the future if you try to use the same card to pay through
PayPal again. I would guess that you could use the same number again as
long as it's the same card you're trying to pay with, but I don't know the answer
to that. However, I do know that if you go ahead and sign up for a PayPal
account, it will keep that expanded use number
on file so you only have to acquire it one time per individual credit card. The great
thing about PayPal in essence is this; If you have a Paypal account you can transfer money to anyone else who also has a PayPal account.
All you need is their PayPal ID, which is an email address they use, and you can transfer money in seconds assuming you have the money in your account already.
The receiving end pays a small fee. You can pay someone else who has a PP account by credit card through PP even if YOU don't have an account, but the receiving end pays a 4% fee.
If you have a Paypal account, you can fund your account (put money in your
account that you want to transfer to someone else) with a credit card or through whatever bank account you put on file with
PayPal.
Funding your PayPal account through your bank account takes 3 - 4 days normally, but I don't know how long it takes to fund your
PayPal account using a credit card as I've never done that. Funding your
account is different than making a one time payment.
