    Is there any other way to donate other than using Pay pal or Western Union?

    i.e. A mailing address?

    Hell I think even paypal does not work. So its basically only western union right now...which is very insecure.

    Precisely the reason why there should be more donation methods.

    Mailing would be decent. Risky for the user, but a method nonetheless.

    With Western Union you're getting 20% off, so it worths a try :)

    I didn't talk about the risk and trust me, we both don't know about the risk.
    He asked about other payment methods and I answered him, that's all. :)

    One thing - for sure - Paypal is the safest way.

    @Thread opener - Patient. That's the only answer.

    It would be great to also have mailing donations because some people don't have access to these online paying methods.
    ie. They aren't old enough or they don't own one.

    One solution - a gift card.
    Every country is supplying gift cards.

    Some parents don't trust kids with money. And for good reason since donating to a p server is usually considered a waste of money.

    Well, maybe that's good, but when i first got the card i already had my own money. :)

    And i'm just saying that there is a method for paying online, cuz if it's PayPal or mail, it's still a waste of money.. xD

    tried western union...

    I made a donation through WU earlier today, and it's just been sitting there all day waiting to be picked up...

    WU is pretty fail imho.

    got my credits (thank you admin), but I didn't see the extra 20% discount or added credit for using Western Union.
    How is this suppose to work?
