Show me hard evidence of exactly how much you take in and where it goes and then I'll believe you. Assertions mean diddly squat. I'll still think the site's a stupid idea, though.
I also find it difficult to believe that someone running a paysite would make the "mistake" of selling someone else's skins. "We all make mistakes" is not a good excuse. Nor is that "language barrier" stuff.
Also, what Lorelei said.

Zero of course - and I bet when they do show the amount, they'll put a table up there of how much they gave to each charity - not actual proof.
Notice too, that the price has been hiked. Now 3 euro instead of 1 euro.

That's probably because they realized that one euro just about covers the Paypal fees and doesn't leave anything for anyone else.

You may not sell custom content for any cause what so ever, dumbass.

Why don't you just have links to those charities on your site and free downloads? Don't come here with another pathetic excuse to SELL custom content.

I'm so tired of these "donate and it will go to charity" scams. Remember when Hchangeri did it? (Not) good times..
Scammers aren't very creative these days. Charity, dead husbands, dying chilluns, ripped off by website designer, someone's hacked my site and used up all my bandwidth and $2500 worth more.. *sigh*
If it doesn't involve a mime, a lime, and butthurt then I'm not interested in hearing about it.

Of course we can donate at another way but it will be the easiest and best way to donate over paypal!
Well obviously it isn't if:

as you can see if we got a donation of 1,00€ we received 63 Cent
Logic failure, please try again.

Well yeah, there goes the meaning of every penny helps...
I'm just wondering, why are those poor souls who actually spend their time and their money indirectly blamed for being greedy and stuff because they dare not to think of PayPal's stupid fees?
Why is PayPal so popular anyway?

PayPal is easy and inexpensive and you don't need to install any shopping cart application and pay for credit card and check processing services. It is also international.

Das finde ich auch eine gute Idee. Das Spenden direkt per Paypal wird eh nicht zu verwirklichen sein - ich habe mit dem WWF, Unicef, Greenpeace und dem BUND telefoniert, und keiner hat ein Paypal-Konto. Die meisten wußten nicht mal, was das ist, und alle waren der Meinung , das sie das nicht machen würden wegen der zusätzlichen Gebühren. Allerdings war ich der Meinung, dass ich irgendwo mal bei Paypal gelesen habe, dass gemeinnützige Organisationen keine Gebühren zahlen müssen. Das scheinen die aber nicht zu wissen bzw. es besteht kein Interesse . Wie werden wohl leider per Überweisung spenden müssen, dann eine Spendenquittung anfordern und die dann online stellen müssen. Am besten vermutlich lückenlos, also Paypal Ausgang aufs Konto - Kontoauszug von der Überweisung - Spendenquittung *seufz*. Sonst heisst es wahrscheinlich eh wieder, wir würden betrügen. Ein paar Leute haben auch bemängelt, dass sie nicht mitentscheiden können, an wen gespendet wird. Vielleicht sollte man vorher festlegen, an wen die Spende gehen soll und das dann auf der Seite ankündigen. Wenn man dann einen Betrag zusammen hat, der hoch genug zum Spenden ist, kann man dann ja nach der Überweisung wechseln und das dann wieder ankündigen. Dann weiß jeder Bescheid, an wen das Geld geht.
__________________ Zitat finish Julsfels
Irgend wie erschließt sich mir nicht der Sinn einer derartigen "Spendenaktion auf Krampf." Was oder wer hindert Bluesea und Julsfels wem auch immer eine Spende zukommen zu lassen? So wie es jeder Mensch tut, der das vorhat. Geld überweisen, Spendenquittung bekommen, fertig. Für mich sieht das nicht nach einer uneigennützigen Spende aus. Es ist ganz offensichtlich, dass hier alles getan wird, um über Organisationen wie Unicef und WWF eine schöne, satte Werbung zu bekommen, ohne dafür selbst einen Cent einzusetzen. Im Zusammenhang mit diesen Organisationen gesehen einfach nur unschön. Denn was verkauft wird, sind Dinge die weder Bluesea noch Julsfeld noch den anderen Erstellern gehören, es ist und bleibt Eigentum von EA. Man setzt keinen eigenen Cent ein , kassiert von anderen das Geld und spielt gegenüber den Organisationen den großzügigen Maxen und ganz nebenbei bleiben die Websiten im Gespräch. So etwas auf dem Rücken von Hilfsorganisationen auszutragen ist einfach nur abartig und zeigt einmal mehr, von welcher Mentalität und Moral ein Teil der Leute ist, die sich in der Simswelt bewegen. Bemerkenswert dabei, dass auch das Simforum mit von der Partie ist, wie auf der Website von Bluesea deutlich hervorgeht. Werbung, Ruhm, Bekanntheit auf dem Rücken von Hilfsorganisationen, ohne einen Finger zu rühren, ohne einen Cent zu spenden. Noch schlimmer geht nimmer. Eine schmutzige Geschichte, wie das ganze Verhalten zum Thema Pay und die Einstellung in diesem Forum zu den Lizenzbestimmungen, zu Rechten und Gesetzen und der Haltung, dass alles erlaubt ist, solange es dem Forum und einigen Erstellern nützt und die Vermarktung ankurbelt.

Roxelane, I am taking a guess here, but, I would say about 90% of the people in this forum don't understand German. Your posts really need to be in english if you want to get your point across. There is a non-english speaking thread here if you want to use it.
