All users, donations appreciated


Recommended Posts

All NMB users, members and casual users:  Please consider making a donation to NMB. It has never charged a membership fee, but it takes money to keep it running. A lot of small donations, whatever you can afford in these harsh times, will be appreciated. A lot of small donations = monies to keep it going. That way we can all continue to enjoy and learn about Japanese swords and related topics. Thanks.

the CC goes right to his bank, PP will take a hit in fees. But if only way you can, its good to add couple xtra $.

 

note i had to wait for my bank to open to take the block off SA their good at catching scams.

Thanks Stephen and Rich and others.
As mentioned, Paypal link is http://www.paypal.me/japaneseswords

Or you can donate via Payfast, which is a SA CC processor (secure)
That link is http://www.militaria.co.za/donations.htmlbut you may need to call your bank to authorize it, as SA is considered high risk for fraud. Dunno why, we are only really big into murder and robbery. Fraud is more North African :laughing: :-?
Paypal is used for forum bills and can't be spent here. Too many fees to withdraw it. Payfast is used for anything local as it goes to my bank account.

Always appreciated and hope everyone is doing ok.

I would love to contribute but I am being challenged by the available options. Passwords, security questions, exchange rates. Whatever happened to a C note in an envelop?

P

Pete, doesn't get much easier than the Paypal one then: http://www.paypal.me/japaneseswords

If you are old fashioned, a C Note in an envelope sent to Stephen or Ken or one of our many other trusted members will always find its way to me somehow :laughing:

I guess you guys must have missed https://www.gofundme.com/f/send-brian-robinson-to-dti-2020.

 

Yes, quite a few things have changed, due to the pandemic, of course, but it's also a very-easy way to send money to Brian, which he can use for NMB, even if the trip doesn't come off. You can follow the thread at http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/31297-gofundme-for-brian-send-him-to-dti-2020/.

I have said this before, but I do need to repeat it.
Paypal no longer sends the contact details of a sender, or their email address. Sometimes I only get a name, and often it doesn't match one I recognize from the forum.
I do try to send a personal thanks to people for their donations, but in some cases due to this lack of contact details, or time restrains...I am not able to send out a personal thanks. And so I wish to do that here. If I have not sent you a message of thanks, please do not think me ungrateful. I REALLY appreciate every contribution, be it $5 or whatever. There have been some very generous donations and I feel terrible that I haven't said thanks properly.
Please know that you have my sincere thanks and appreciation, and I take note of every single one of you. I cannot post the names here for obvious reasons. If you like, you can always include your email address in the PP notes section.
Again, many thanks and best regards to each and every one of you.

Huge thanks Daniel. Really appreciate it.
I am not sure if anything changed, but I see donations are not allowed unless an NPO...so I changed the title to Nihonto Message Board Payment.
If anyone does a payment, don't mention donation. Just payment for service.
I'll have to wait for someone to try it to know if it works. If not, a screen cap of the error would be appreciated.
:thanks:

I've received absolutely nothing from GFM, Brian. A few weeks ago, they wanted me to set up a bank account to transfer the funds, by 5/25, & I had that done the same day.

 

Let me send them an e-mail to figure out what's happening.

 

Thanks to Jeremy for that input!
