Steve Butters Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I dont think that's possible. Pretty sure you have to use a bank account to have a paypal addy. I'd suggest that we use a paypal addy of a trusted member, like Casper or Carie, and they can keep the forum/facebook updated on what's needed.im pretty sure you dont need a bank account tied to it....you just cant add funds without one....i talked to my mom and her paypal is NOT linked to her bank account, she requests paper checks and when she purchases with her paypal, she runs it as a visa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 this looks like it would be a good optionhttps://merchant.paypal.com/cgi-bin/marketingweb?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=merchant/donationswould have to check on needing an account or not though, perhaps somebody should call and ask them if a bank account has to be tied to nonprofit accounts like this, or if they can just be cashed out as a check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 this is starting to sound more complicated than i thoughtTo receive the discounted rates, sign up for a PayPal Business account. Select Nonprofit as the business type and enter your organization's checking account number. Then, to confirm your nonprofit status, email a tax letter from the IRS, a bank statement or a voided check in the nonprofit's name, plus the organization's PayPal email account and contact information to compliance@paypal.com.

Steve Butters Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 i can sign up without all that extra stuff and run it as a normal account for a business...the rates are a bit higher, but not too bad... its about 70 cents more per 100 dollars....so i think ill do it that waythoughts?

Steve Butters Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 ok i set out a standard non-profit business account...its not linked to a bank account, and it has a 500 dollar per month withdrawl limitso in the event that we raise the total amount needed, we can have brian add his bank account onto the page and have it sent directly to him, if not, we will cash out whatever we get and he can put it in a separate account in his personal banksound ok?

RFM Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'm going to suggest to have an attorney review everything. The non profit thing and taxes...That said, if nobody is an attorney here, and we're surrounded by engineering geeks, I can pull the favour card from a friend. I'd prefer to use that card when I'm pissed and wearing a strangers' pants and a bra for a hat, found wandering through the women's restroom at Walmart...
