Starving Artist to Paypal
So far in my career, six to eight readers, perhaps ten, have arranged to give me a tip or emolument at regular, repeating intervals, such as fifteen dollars a month.
In each case, the payments have not gone through. Paypal won’t send the money, but will sent a note telling me they won’t.
We’ve contracted Paypal, and they say nothing in wrong on our side, but Paypal will not clear the amounts for any repeated, autopilot payments.
My wife and I could really use the money, even small amounts, and it is exasperating that little tips and kindnesses from readers are being plucked away by some bureaucratic or electronic glitch.
If you are such a reader, who has tried to set up a recurring, automatic payment, please note: your money is not reaching us. Please contact Paypal.
