Don't worry about those people.I've found the people that are like that have usually never though of doing something for someone else for nothing in return.

(not saying it's your Remi, I've received PM's and comments that I feel are way off base).

If you're getting any abuse over this, let us know.

Paige, definitely let us know if anyone is giving you a hard time. Shortening best friends to bf is similar to me to when we shorten dropzone to dz. I think it was an honest mistake and people should lay-off.

Thanks again for everything, you're awesome.

Donation $4,143.86

We've made it past $6,000 before PayPal gets their cut. Still waiting to hear back from PayPal in regards to getting back the fees since this is for a donation/memorial.

Thanks to everyone for the PM's and posts. I'm really tight on time w. all the things that I have going on w. the donations and (belive it or not, more tradegy) in my personal life. I appreciate all of your kind words and thank you for motivating me. It is nice to know that the work is appreciated. Even though it is a great cause and I know that (worth every bit of stress and lack of sleep), this has been tougher in ways that I never imagined.

Paige,

I can honestly say that you are one of the most considerate, thoughtful, kind, intelligent, wonderful people I know. I have never known anyone as generous as you. This is one of MANY times you have proven how caring you are. If ANYONE at all gets even the slightest bit negative toward you, just forget it. Someone obviously peed in their cheerios.

Keep it up, kiddo. You are great!

SINCERELY,
me

Paige,

If you need any assistance at all, just contact me. I would be glad to do anything to make the burden easier for you (That goes for you too, Andrea). In the meantime, ignore the negative and meditate on the positive.

Thank you, but no one owes me. I've gained much more from this experience than I've given. It's been stressful w. a lot of other things going on in my life right now but I wouldn't change anything. The outcome is amazing and I'm delighted to be able to be part of such a fantastic cause.

Thank you and everyone else for giving me a job to do. Without the donations, I'd be useless

You should try contacting paypal and see if they will refund the charges since it is all for charity.

You never know.

Here's what I got from PayPal in regards to having the fee's waived. It's almost word for word the same email I got when I asked them about TFTC.

Dear Paige Rudolph,

Hello, my name is Komakech and I am happy to assist you with your question
regarding PayPAL fees.

PayPal is very pleased that you are considering our service as a way to
accept donations on your site. At this time, we have not yet developed a
program specifically for Non-Profit organizations. In the interim, you may
wish to open a PayPal Business Account by clicking
https://www.paypal.com/signbiz or copy and paste the entire link into the
address bar.

Thank you for choosing PayPal. It has been my pleasure to assist you with
your questions. Your satisfaction and experience with PayPal are very
important. You may receive a survey from our third party vendor, Benchmark
Portal and we would appreciate any feedback you can provide.

Sincerely,
Komakech

In other words, "No."
Until PayPal has some meaningful competition, we can presume it will stay that way.

What good would a business account be?

Isn't the only difference a lower fee paid based on volume?
