Good stuff. Donated $100 through paypal and my rank was applied instantly and automatically by the system.

I don't understand why I am not trusted enough

It's based on current donator status, don't feel bad.

To use PayPal you must:
- Have 100 posts;
- Be a member for more than 15 days; and
- Be an existing donor.

These guidelines are TEMPORARY and are only for this early testing stage. In the future we expect to open PP donations for everyone.

imo it would be better if the rules were to become more flexible once you finalize the system:

either you are a 1 year member with 300+ posts or 6 months with 1000+ posts or already a $25+ donator

edit:

i dont actually like this update to the donation system because it removes the "sunk cost" aspect of getitng a donator rank.

what if someone pays 13m for a $5 donator rank, then PP's a further $95 to get $100 rank. With that he/she will be considered trusted and can convince people to go first/trust on paypal to scam them. This will go on until they get banned, at which point the chargeback the $95 and effectively bought "trust" to scam people for a mere 13m rsgp.

one way to sovle this issue is that for "untrusted" members, paypal donations only get added to their donator rank once the 45 day chargeback window is over. but then again, who would want to wait 45 days for their donation to show up?

Wow very nice. Thought this was never going to come back. Instead of 1 week through mail I can donate without all that wait. xD I hope this new system will help solve the past problems of those pricks who chargebacked donations...
..which is considerably the stupidest thing ever. Still will have to do whatever you can about that.

Matthew is always trying to bring in whatever the Sythe members suggest.

[Deathsnova]

[Omeh]

Should introduce the other members to player auctions and just charge them the fee.

 

[Laptop65]

Ah bugger I can't donate, nevertheless I will transfer money to PayPal now in hopes that I will be eligible for donating via PayPal in the future.

Donate $5 through GP then use PP.

Great job Matthew!

Long story as to why I won't do that, I'll wait for the next PayPal rollout. It's no big deal.

I personally think it should stay like that, it would stop a lot of trouble.

I think, that the first two limits should be left.

Agreed. We don't want new members, come and donate $200 with a stolen paypal, scam $500 and then chargeback the whole thing.
