As I was trying to make a donation a few moments ago, I realized there was no option for using a debit card, only Pay Pal? Is this true? I prefer not to open a Pay Pal account.
Thanks,
Kirby

You can also pay by check or money order.
Opening a PayPal account entails certain risks which may be easily Googled. Also, they have managed to turn themselves into a bank while circumventing the applicable regulations for banks.
I'm not a big PayPal fan either.
I mailed my check to:
WhiteBlaze
159 Oak Hill Road
Litchfield, ME 04350
Magic Man
Boo-Boo (ME->GA SOBO '07)'s dad
I went a week or more without being able to edit my posts because I didn't want to get involved with Pay Pal. I have a bill-paying account with Key Bank. I just give them a list of names, addresses and phone numbers and they pay whatever and whenever I tell them to.
The problem was that nowhere does White Blaze list a phone. And Key insists on one. While waiting for AT Troll to comply with my request for a number, I gave up and gave the bank my phone number. Key didn't seem to mind. My check arrived at White Blaze a few days later.
Weary
I paid with a credit card through Paypal (White blaze has the account). No problem.

I think you can do the same thing with a debit card without opening your own PayPal account too, if I'm not mistaken.
no message
Dixi now taking gruff for payment options
Yikes
If all you whiners would get smart and just email Dixi your ATM PINs, everything would be just fine!
See how honest she is?
She even lets Attroll do the heavy lifting. So, send those PINs and keep this place afloat!
Or simply call 1 800 FEL ONEY.

I figured this was the proper place for the thread. I was seeking clarification on how it worked, not trying to give the mods/admins grief for not being able to use a CC/DC. I have just looked at it again, and it seems I do not have to open an account to do so.
Sorry if I did get under the skin of the mods.

Kirby, I don't think anyone thought you were being mean. You identified a problem, mentioned it and got good feedback. You started a thread that should nudge more folks to help out this resource.
They don't even have two semiannual weeks of begging like NPR
One week, I will be on Springer a week from today.
I have just given $10.00, not much, but I felt the need to give something, and that fits my budget.
