Hi, i just looked at loads of threads in this forum including all the stickies and cant find any information about how to donate.

I'm probably being really dense.

Any helps appreciated

easy! In DVDRB, go to <help>, <make a donation>, and if you're connected to the internet it will take you directly to the site :)

so, just to get this straight, I donate and then get the VIP/Pro version automatically? Or do I have to send jdobbs and email with the info to get the VIP/Pro version? Thanks for any help .

(I searched and found this thread to avoid useless clutter)

It will come automatically to the e-mail address you have registered with PayPal. If you want to use a different address, just send an update note to dvd-rb@dvd-rb.com or dvd-rb@comcast.net.

It gets mailed automatically within minutes of my PayPal notification. If you don't get it within an hour something is wrong with the delivery, send a notice to DVD-RB@DVD-RB.COM or DVD-RB@COMCAST.NET.

Just as a suggestion -- if you have SPAM filtering turned on check to see if it may have been stripped, that has happened more than once.

You might want to check out Money Bookers. Based out of the UK, and regulated by UK banking* laws. I think the only fee you would have to pay is ~$5 to withdraw money via check. It supports several countries that PayPal does not (like Czech Republic, which a few people have mentioned).

People who send money would pay 1% to send it to you. Most supported countries can add money to their account for free via checking account or with Visa/MC @ 3%.

EDIT: I'm not recommending them. Personally I have no experience with the company. I just did some searching around and they seem to fit the bill pretty well. Some first hand experiences I read did mention that their customer service was slow to respond, and it can sometimes take a few days for funds to appear, but eventually all of them had their problems resolved.

*I'm not sure if they are banking laws or a new form of money exchange regulations the UK enacted.

I'd actually support credit card payment, since it's by far the most convinient way, but not via PayPal (it's evil!). You may also want to look into Shareit! (http://www.shareit.com/index.html), it's said to be good plus there's no monthly fees.
