Sign in to PayPal, and it’ll set Freegle as your favourite charity. That won’t cost you a penny.

    Misleading post - the link redirects to your paypal login page, and then to a donation page for Freegle via the paypal giving fund.
    The front page of Paypal's hub says "Find a charity you love, donate and set it as your favourite to easily give £1 at checkout", I can't see an option to select a charity without donating first (eta: only showing up for me when logged out & only on some charities pages), setting your favourite may be free but it only helps the charity when you choose to donate via adding an extra £1 on to another purchase via paypal so hardly "won’t cost you a penny.".

    received this email from my local Freegle:
    You can help Freegle win much-needed funds to keep us going - without it costing you a penny!

    PayPal are giving away up to £6,000 to the charities that get the most votes during April. To vote for Freegle, please click here:

    Just sign in to PayPal, and that will set Freegle as your favourite charity. It won’t cost you a penny.

    Freegle is very busy at the moment, because times are tough for a lot of people. This is a great way to help us keep going and help even more people - for free!

    Thanks for your support.
