    You are trolling a number of threads tonight, I see...I'm not going to rise to it.

  • All I can say sirbrainy is you seem to have far too much time on your hands. If you really wanted to help poor African kids you would be suggesting withdrawing the full amount by BACS and then donating the portion which paypal would otherwise have taken to charity (in its entirity rather than a tiny proportion which paypal would otherwise pass on to the poor African kids!). Oh, and this way, if it wasn't the "poor African kids" that the individual wanted to help, rather the "poor Zimbabwean kids" or anything else they so choose for that matter, so be it!

    p.s. if you care to research accurately the proportion of the fee paypal takes which is actually passed on to charitable causes and report back to this forum on your findings you are very welcome.

    Don't rise to it - he's trolling on lots of threads tonight. It's almost entertaining! :D

    Don't bother responding to him anymore. It's like dealing with a petulant child - withdraw all attention. ;)

    Your point seems to be that you'd rather not help poor kids in Africa if it means Paypal benefits too

    I choose my own charities, Paypal isn't one of them!
