Done but my donation is under review, first time i see that. The donation should be confirmed/refused within 24 to 72 hours. Good luck in rebuilding this awesome site.

It is for US PayPal accounts

Yes, the money is transferred internationally, but PayPal handles that aspect of it. The payment amount is in AUD, and they do the conversion. You shouldn't get charged foreign transaction fees or anything from your bank or credit card, if that's what you're asking.

Hi guys, thanks so much for your generosity. Really touching to see the community do something like this. Thanks again for organising, Rob.

More or less all the donations seem to get reviewed - possibly because of 'cigar' in the name. Don't recall ever having one rejected though. A few years ago they suspended my account until I wrote them an essay explaining that I wasn't selling tobacco, so hopefully I'm on the clear list now.

For those of you who donated before Rob announced the competition, send me an email with your username and I'll put you on the entry list.

I'll do an update on current site status in the other thread for those interested.

Done,  Have used this site many times. Hope they can rebuild.

Done. Great resource for us all. Kick in guys.

I had something come up last week and put off donating. The raffle idea came just in time. Much appreciated Rob, and I'm glad to help repair and hopefully improve a resource I use more than I realized I did. 

[anacostiakat]

Done.  My only comment is that I didn't realize it was in AUD and I couldn't figure out how to change it.

I'm in the U.S., and when I enter the $ amount, it says AUD.  So, is the amount I'm putting in the US $ amount or the AUD $ amount?  If I want to donate $X of US dollars, do I do the conversion to figure out what that amount of $US is in AUD?

Donate in USD I believe...

Example....so he will get correct amount.
$20.20 USD = $26.24 AUD

$20.00 AUD =$14.98 USD

If you donate in AUD I think it will end up "being less than you wanted" when he receives.

Hope that makes sense. Need coffee.

I'm not so sure that it converts to AUD, because the $US amount I entered shows the same amount AUD, so it makes me think it is less than what I'm trying to donate in $US.

Those numbers came from my PayPal, mine shows me both USD and AUD.

Are you on computer or mobile maybe?

I'm on my PC and I'm doing this through the CCW website.  Maybe I need to go straight through PayPal and send it to the email address.  I'll try that.  Thanks, Saint, for your help.  You're a good BOTL.

I wouldn't worry about it for a few quid either way - it all helps.

[backslide]

Done.. I love the website and am happy to support it.

I completed the process, and the amount you enter in the box is the AUD $ amount, so we in the US are actually entering less than we really want to donate.  Just be aware of that.  For example, if you enter $100, you are actually donating about $73 U.S.  Yes, not much difference, but it adds up and means a lot to Alex, I'm sure.

Done, under review.
