I don't have a PayPal account. I wanted to pay with just an existing (non-PayPal) credit card. Clicking on the 'Donations' link opens a page with 2 options: 1) Recurring annual payment and 2)Single payment. I first tried to set up a donation as a recurring annual payment... but that opens up a form that requests information to set up a PayPal account. I didn't see an option to just use an existing credit card... (maybe I missed it?) So, I backed up to the page with the 2 options and tried the 2nd 'single payment' option. This opened a screen where you're immediately given a choice to pay with an existing credit card, or use a PayPal account. I was just more comfortable paying with the existing credit card and on this page, at least, it was clear that that's what would be happening.

Hi Cynthia, I'll be making my donation soon. This forum has been my lifeline back to art and helped me keep my sanity. Well worth as much as I can afford.

Thanks, Jean!

Terri,

Yes, it was there. Note the following three images. The first image shows the first page where you would have selected recurring payment. The next image shows the next page where one selects "If you do not currently have a PayPal account." Then the third image shows the third page where credit card info can be entered. Probably, you were thrown by the large words ahead of it that said "Sign up for a PayPal account today." Below that, you can see where I've circled where you can simply enter a credit card. In order to do recurring billing, it does have to set you up in their database in order to charge for the next year.

I know you've already done yours, however, this is for anyone else who might be confused or in case you want to go on recurring next year.

Sorry for any confusion that my confusion may have caused!

I'll keep the recurring payment option in mind for next year. Thanks!

Cynthia,
You have already earned a free pass into heaven. Every contributing artist has earned it as well. I am eager to donate as much as I can and I am happy to do so.
Thank you so much for this forum.

Cynthia,

When I click to that page - the little boxes are x 'ed out. I tried clicking them anyway and the page that came up said it wasnt formatted properly?
