PAYPAL!! ARG!
So, I'm trying to add a Paypal donate button to my site and when I do, I think, all is well. I don't bother testing the button, because, like, they've worked in the past when I've had them, so what could go wrong this time? Just in case, I try it and guess what? Paypal keeps adding a $5 shipping charge to the donation. What the hell's up with that? So, I email them to complain. All they do is reply with excerpts from their "how to" manual. Uh... don't you think I would have checked that? As it happens, I didn't, but their site is very intuitive and I can do everything I need to do, except this. The ultimate catch is that the excerpt from their manual really doesn't tell me jack. In fact, it's completely useless. It tells me how to enter the appropriate shipping costs for given dollar-value ranges. The catch is, this is a donation. The system should know better than to force a shipping cost on a donation. So, I redid the shipping costs to charges, zeroing them out. Now, click below and see if it works. Please comment if you click on it and it tries to charge you for shipping. Thanks!
