Can someone explain this stupid PayPal thing to me?

[honestrosewater]

I just want to become a PF Contributor today! I'm using someone else's PayPal account because I don't have or want one. So how do I do this? Their website doesn't help. Her current balance is 0. Do I have to transfer money to the account or what? Can I just pay with a credit card? How do I do that? Ugh?!

 

[Pengwuino]

You should be able to just pay by credit card

 

[honestrosewater]

Thanks, I figured it out. The only option was a check, but I didn't recognize the numbers. It was from the right account after all. Woohoo! Wake up, Greg! Upgrade me!

You do realize the money was secretly transferred to an off-shore bank account in the camen islands right? Your supporting terrorism...

Oh... I still get my name in gold letters, though, right?

 

[Pengwuino]

Of course!

 

[Smurf]

ah. good. I mean, that's what really matters.

 

[honestrosewater]

As long as they aren't ninja terrorists. They spend all of their money making stupid videos with bad music.

 

[Pengwuino]

How can you call that music bad??

terrorist!

 

[honestrosewater]

terrorist!

OMG, could you guys stop arguing with me for 5 minutes?!

Flightless birdo! meh, I'll think of something better later...

 

[Pengwuino]

[honestrosewater]

Well, I suppose that exceptional stamina could come in handy.

 

[Pengwuino]

ewwwwww :P

 

[honestrosewater]

ewwwwww :P

Eh, is that a grossed out ewwwww?

 

[Pengwuino]

What other kinds of grossed out are there!

This place needs a chat room

Sorry, I'm just not used to that kind of reaction. Are all the real men in the chat room?

 

[arildno]

No ,they are over-crowding the frat room..

 

[honestrosewater]

No ,they are over-crowding the frat room..

Ooh, there's a frat room? Physicists and engineers can come up with some wicked variations on the beer bong. You guys be careful, don't hurt yourselves.

If you paid using someone else's account, you should send Greg a PM letting him know, otherwise he might not know who to credit the contribution to. For future reference, you don't actually have to sign up with a paypal account to use paypal. If you pay by credit card, you can bypass the entire paypal registration thing.

 

[JamesU]

no, she payed using someone else's paypal account. not PF account

 

[Moonbear]

no, she payed using someone else's paypal account. not PF account

But I don't know if that would mean the payment would show up in that other person's name and not match to her account information here. Since she isn't gold yet, it seems likely.

 

[JamesU]

maybe greg's asleep.

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

I think they use your e-mail for id verification and Greg should be able to check that against the members list or something.
Any way she's good as gold now.

 

[Moonbear]

Yep, welcome to the Gold Club[/color] Honestrosewater!

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

AH! That yellow is blinding!

 

[Evo]

Yay Honestrosewater!

Welcome to the fold. You will receive the key to the executive washroom in 10-14 days. In the mean time, have some fish..please.

 

[honestrosewater]

I PMed Greg just in case. That executive washroom sounds nice - the one in the frat house is a microbiologist's paradise.
