Oh my!

 

This is so great. I'll bet we end up getting national recognition for this... or maybe not. But either way - we're doing a great thing and it deserves the highest praise! Bravo, everyone!

yay! You rock :hat:

But i promise..I'll donate before next weekend :) It feels terrible 'cause i can't donate yet! :( But anyways well done guys, this is sooo cool! :nice:

Donated 5 dollars, it's not that much but still it feels great!! This whole concept is amazing, I'm so happy I'm part of this!:nice:

The $1.36 campaign site has been updated: We now request that you include your coldplaying.com forum name and email addy in the 'comment box' when filling out the donation form. This is so that we can keep a detailed record of who has donated what. If you've already donated, could you please email [email protected] and tell us your real name and forum name so we can match you up with a donation? Thanks very much!! :nice:

Go to the very first post on this thread and click the link that says "the $1.36 campaign." Then follow the links and pay with paypal.

And don't forget to do as below! :nice:

So, i have this question...sorry if it is stupid, but, does paypal keep a 2.9% of the total amount (the amount you send + the 0.30 USS) or the 2.9% refer to the amount without taking the 0.30 USS (the amount you send - 0.30 USS and then takes the 2.9%)?? :confused: was that understandable..? And sorry to ask this here, but i couldnt find the answer at paypal´s website. Either way it´s a lot f money...

Cheers Nadia on updating the 1.36 site, sorry I haven't been online in the past couple days to discuss like I meant to, but I didn't know that the immigration protest yesterday was going to take up my whole day! LOL!!!!

 

 

Sofy, I BELIEVE that Paypal takes out the 30 cents ON TOP OF the % tax. I'm almost positive that that's the way it works, however, I could always be wrong... :/

Hmm. I checked according to the balance info in paypal (the amount given and then the fee it takes) and if my math is correct it takes the 2.9% of the total amount given first, and yeah.. the additional 0.30 cents after.

 

For example, someone gave $10. It first took the 2.9% which would be .29, then add the additional .30 cents and the total amount Paypal took from the $10 is .59.

 

I guess that benefits them, since they would get less money if they took the 2.9% after taking the .30 cents.

They're clever bastards. :dozey: :rolleyes:

 

 

 

Oh well, at least it isn't THAT much being taken out, they're not taking half or anything.

DONATION TOTAL UPDATE: $57.50 USD!!!

 

In just a few days we have managed to raise over twice of what we need to sponsor a child!! How incredible is that?

 

But let's not stop here. I think we can push ourselves to raise even more and really make a huge difference in the life of a child and his/her community.

 

I'm so happy with the way this is turning out. You guys are awesome. :)

I sent in my donation. Yah, Coldplay having babies and now so do we. :D

Awww :heart:....nice way to think of it. Thanks Angie. :)

lol texas!

 

Thanx for answering my q:

So, if it is like Victanic said, if a person pays the minimum of 1,36 thru paypal, Sponsor a Child would get from that person 1,021...if i´m correct, though my mathematical skills certainly suck. Well, then, if it´s like that it´s not THAT much...

lol texas!

Very close. :) $1.36 USD, after the -$0.35 USD transaction fee, works out to be $1.01 USD. One buck isn't that much, but if it's all you are able to give, it is better than nothing, right? :) Of course, the more you give, the less of an impact the transaction fee makes on your total donation sum. But your donation amount completely up to you. Some people have been able to donate larger amounts, and some, a few dollars....but the point is, no matter what you give, you are helping. It all adds up! :)

WOW. That's all I can say. The response is simply overwhelming folks. This is AMAZING.

 

I'm planning to donate some money tomorrow. :) I get paid! *dance*

You guys amaze me everyday, really. I'm going to give my bit tomorrow when my dad gets home from his work trip with his credit card ;) I feel horrible having helped set this up and not giving yet, but I'm soooo glad to see this turn out.

 

 

Love you guys, truly, I do. And hopefully a little kid and his or her family will as well! :)

I hope so too!! I'm glad I could donate. I feel good inside! Wow, almost 60 dollars. That is awesome!! Thanks to everyone else who donated!!

You guys, I've been trying to figure this out, but I can't...(embarrassing, I know :laugh4:): Do I need a credit card to use PayPal or is an account enough?

I just don't get it, to be honest. :/

@Ladybug: It should work with an usual bank-account, too (simple bank transfer)... well at least in Germany it does, but it shouldn't be too different with Austria.

Really? Fantastic :) Thanks, Felix :nice:

$85. That is amazing.

 

You guys rock. Seriously.

 

Thank you all so much.

YAY!!! it was so close! :D i thought it was -0.3, not -0.35...

You should remember that here a dollar is much more than it is there, and besides the salaries are crap...so i dont know how much i´ll be able to give, but i think my parents are letting me do it! another YAY!!!

Oh yeah, I totally understand! :nice: A few dollars can work out to be a lot more in other countries, so just give what you feel is appropriate for your currency. And YAY for your parents!! :D
