Title: PayPal and the Sharpshooters fund
Post by: Guernsey Exile on February 12, 2010, 03:23:01 pm

Having read Gareths comments about he fund etc and how much commission was taken off by Paypal - is there a way that we could (in future) set this up as a charity?  Either through paypal or another outlet.  Technically we are donating to the fund and then in turn the fund is donated to the club.  It would avoid tax and commission been deducted in future -

Just an idea, it may be a no go

When our VSC Paypal account was frozen, I asked folk to send donations to my personal Paypal account - all they had to do was use my email - and it is seen by Paypal as money going to friends - so did nt attract any commission......nice result that !..it really helped us! So could be a solution, tho I suppose it depends if you trust me !!!....
