Guest Whittonowl Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 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.

Alb1owl Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Can we set up another fund to hire private detectives and (once found) torturers for whomever thinks this sort of behaviour is alright? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Whittonowl Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I see. So being public spirited now involves reading small print. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Whittonowl Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the site does need to generate money to keep going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
