Hi 

I just donated and got a confirmation email saying that they ( gofundme.com ) had taken an additional ‘tip’ of 10%.  That’s a little underhand, I would say. I don’t begrudge the original poster or the grand old guy my money, but the ‘charitable status’ is questionable- would rather he got £11 instead of £10 and them getting the £1.

You didnt read the page you donated on properly

 

You actually select the amount on there

I see. So being public spirited now involves reading small print. Shame. 

 


It's a massive drop down box on the donation page where you choose how much (if anything) you want to donate

You choose yourself - you can pick 10% or 5% or nothing

PM me your paypal mate - I'll refund you the amount and donate the equivalent amount to Bernard so you both win

Sorry. I’m an old fart and find technology a bind. I tried to do the right thing only to get abuse. Think I’ll just climb back under my stone. I truly do wish the guy well and wouldn’t have donated if I didn’t. Please give the £1 to the cause and I’ll stay off this site in future as it’s beyond my frazzled comprehension
