PayPal sucks

They are one of the worst payment processors on the market. They are bad for buyers (last breach exposed 35 thousand accounts, and in small time fraud, 7 in 10 users were unable to recover their funds) it's bad for sellers (you weren't the only ones who were suddenly barred from your own account, this has been happening to indie devs for years, often after money is already in the account) and they have 0 ethics (the whole Honey thing last year.) I'm not giving them my CC number. 

Please organize a proper way for me to give you money. I guess I can send Serhiy Prytula Humanitarian Foundation some money in July, even if you don't fix this, but it will be sad.

yes, I thought about how we could solve this. We will give you a direct account to the Charity Foundation, and in return we will buy you a bundle as a "gift"

That would be great, thank you so much! I don't think Itch has messaging, are you going to post the link here, or is there a Discord I need to join? (I can also give you my e-mail, but that will lead to a lot of spam, so let's not ;] )

It's this https://prytulafoundation.org/en/support-humanitarian-direction right?

We will clarify all the information and write to you. Contact us at bluesky:

@foruahospitals.bsky.social

 or write to us by mail:  roleplaysolovinoiu@gmail.com

I did not hear back from you, sadly. Maybe my e-mail ended up in your Spam Folder?

Thank you, Solovinoiu.

I have received the bundle and all is well. The delay seems to have had a good reason, and is unlikely to happen to others.

Thanks again for helping me avoid dealing with PayPal,

Same, I would like to donate/buy the bundle but I would rather not Paypal have my card info.
