OT: About Donations Through Paypal Last night, after my item no ebay sold for $10 I made my first donation of $5 dollars to DiabloII,Net [I clicked the Support DII.Net Logo at the top]. Well, its been almost a day, and I was wondering how long does it take for your logo to chance from Memeber to DII.Net pal? and is there anyone I have to contact to tell them that I donated...? Just Wondering John
well since i never donated i dont know, but did you put your account name ( Riebs ) in at any time? if not they couldnt tell what account it was.. and i think paypal takes a while for the person who received money to actually recieve the money.
I donated about a month ago and still haven't had anything change. I e-mailed Elly a few times and asked Zappa what to do when she didn't reply. He then told me to try and keep e-mailing Elly as she does tend to be quite busy. As I see it, though, the e-mails I already sent off aren't going to delete themselves so I'll just wait and see what happens. Then, if I ever get my pal advantages, I'll resume my contributing. To be honest, I did expect a bit faster reaction, but let's see what happens.
Keep e-mailing [email protected] e-mails might still be there, but as with anybody that gets a lot of e-mail, the new ones get noticed, the old ones my fall by the wayside.
The last time I donated it took several days before my status changed. I sent one email. Wow Elly must be busy for it to take a month!
Yeah it's been about 2-3 weeks myself. I thought the same thing. No big deal. I will just keep sending them.
It would be nice to be "billed/reminder" that donation is due. That is simply how my status changed and since I still had to deal with all the pop ups i decided not to fool with it anymore.
The pop-ups were due to a couple of unethical advertisers that they were dealing with. They dumped those when the problems arose, so that shouldn't be a problem any more.
Just a few days ago I made a donation via pay - pal and Ive not been upgraded yet either . Didnt want to seem like a pest with re-emailing Elly - but I did see my account debit transaction . On another thread someone told me to send Elly a private message here on the boards also .
If contributions are the life-blood of this site, you would think that they would come up with a better (faster) system to reward those that do contribute. Personally, I'm getting very frustrated with the whole process. I donated through PayPal almost a month ago and have sent several PMs/emails since without any results.
