Are some of you worried about the privacy regarding contributing to immigrationportal.org through Paypal ? I have already answered in this in the Fund collection FAQ document.To see that, click on the "click here to contribute" link in my signature. I have posted the same Q&A below.
Q4) Do I need a Paypal account to make an online donation? How safe is online payment using PAYPAL ?
You don’t need a Paypal account for using Paypal. You just need a Visa / Mastercard / Amex credit card. Paypal is a payment processing product and it accepts money from the donors and deposits it into the organization’s bank account. Paypal does not provide us your credit card number. So your privacy is protected. More over, paypal belongs to Ebay. So you can trust the security level. It is very easy to use. Just click on the Paypal button on www.immigrationportal.org and follow the instructions.
Note : If you skip the "shipping address" page in paypal, then your address will not be available to immigrationportal.org. Some people (including me ) mistakenly fill out that page and we get their address. Finally, i would like to ask you not to worry too much into this type of trivial issues. We are not business or marketing company. It is just a self service organization and we are very idealistic. So far more than 200 people have contributed . We are only asking for $50 donations now, and that's too small an amount for any one to give up instead of holding on to negative pessimistic thoughts about our organization. We have so far collected $19,700 and the amount is growing every day.
