Hello all

I have a normal site ( my site not a webhost but im reading/trying to become a reseller anyway.)
I live in Turkey and im lookin for a way which will allow me to receive donations to my credit card .I checked paypal but i tho i cant take money to my bank account or to my visa .I also mailed with 2CO but they says i cant have donations via them :( so Is there any system which allows that please.

Thx

Amazon is an option...of last resort. The fees are expensive, but they have a specific donation program.

Yup. Amazon.com has a donation program. They will collect the money, then send it to your account twice a month. Be sure to check out their fees and conditions.

From what I remember the fees are rather high. Also, check out the length of time a person has to get a refund on their money. I recall it was quite a while.

Amazon? Donations? It's surprising isn't it.

I had trouble finding the link myself, so I posted in Amazon's merchant forum to get you the link:

http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/subst/fx/home.html/ref=gw_hp_ls_1_9/002-3298736-2832853


I was mistaken about the high fee. This is their fee:

The person making a payment is not charged any fees at all. The person receiving a payment is assessed 2.9% of the total payment per transaction plus $0.30.

this is what their FAQ says

:(
Why do I need a U.S. credit card to use the Honor System?At this time, we are able to offer the Amazon Honor System to those with U.S.-based credit cards only. We hope to be able to expand the Honor System offering in the future

Why is checking account information required?
Your earnings will be disbursed directly into the checking account you designate. Currently, we provide disbursal to checking accounts only. We hope to be able to expand the Amazon Honor System offering in the future.
