For those who donated to Buy Me A Coffee

[ClaretTony]

Please read this if you made a donation.

Firstly I am really grateful. A sizeable amount was donated and i can promise you that it would have come in very useful.

I did set it up after a request from Rowls and placed it in a reply to him on the message board. Until everything was sorted, I didn’t want to advertise it so I wasn’t expecting anyone else to make a donation.

Despite a lot of correspondence, they have refused to send me the money and have now closed the account informing me that it is not suitable. I have been assured that all those who have contributed will be refunded within thirty days. I really hope you are.

Can you please let me know if you haven’t received a refund by the end of the month and I will arrange payment by other means.

Again, thanks so much to those of you who did try to buy me a coffee, I was overwhelmed by your generosity and support.

Tony

Did they explain 'Why it's not suitable'?

Nothing that made any sense to me

That's strange. Perhaps because buy me a coffee are set up to support content creators? (Youtubers/bloggers etc) But then, you do amongst other things write a lot of content. Very odd.

There must be another way to do it. If the money was going to be useful then we should try and reinstate it another way!

Actually could you just use PayPal? I don't think there has to be any particular set of criteria for that.

Thanks but I’m more concerned right now to be honest that everyone gets their money back.

Thanks for the info Tony.

What's happened is hugely disappointing but appreciate the information and fingers crossed it can be worked out and something else set up in place.

I'll certainly let you know about any refunds and keep you informed.

I got an email this morning before you posted so should be ok. Hope you find another way.
