Credit card donations

I've been trying to give a donation, but this appears impossible as I have an English bank account with my registered address in France, so I wish to pay in pounds, but as soon as I put in my French address everything reverts to Paypal. I'd like to pay by bank card (Visa debit) but it only allows me to go through PayPal. I refuse to use PayPal as I don't trust them. They ripped my daughter off seriously!

 

Morning folks - so sorry, I didn't know about the donations thing for GC, could @Webmaster give me a link and accept my apologies please? How embarrassing!!

 

@philomel, I have donated recently using my credit card. The reason everything reverts to Paypal when you put in your address is because the payment is made via Paypal to GC. The money isn't taken from your account by Paypal, your bank will authorise the payment to them to pay to GC. I didn't realise at first this is why so many details were wanted and I still don't like the fact they've got a complete trace on me including my ex-phone book telephone number. Without it the payment can't be made.

 

Thanks Sheal. I shall certainly be trying to pay by cheque though as suggested by shiney. Trouble is I'm not sure if I've got a cheque book as I never use one ha ha oh well, where there's a will....

 

I've been using Paypal for several years and stopped for a year after I had a message saying that I'd exceeded my limit. I didn't know there was a limit and couldn't work out how I'd exceeded it. Anyway I decided to boycott until one day when I wanted to buy something from ebay and they only accepted payments from paypal. I managed to phone paypal, all guns blazing, and they told me that the message I'd received, though badly worded (they acknowledged) was only an alert to me that I'd used paypal more than average in that month. I went back to using it and have had no further problems.

They don't charge me anything for making payments but I understand they do make a charge to sellers.
