      are you kidding? they are really taking their own fee?

      If 1 million people donated to red cross through epass and they took 25 cents per person. That would make them $250k in revenue due to hurricane donations. CRAZY!
      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

        Name ONE charitable group that DOESNT skim an operating fee.


        I think a quarter is reasonable. Thats WAY less than I'm sure Paypal is taking.

            completely understandable for them to take a small fee because in the real world you can't really do anything for free.

                      You guys arent factoring in the fact that THEY have to pay the CC companies and banks that I'm sure arent waiving any fees.






                      Again, .25 is more than fair.

                          Will you conspiracy theorist assholes pay attention for a change? How many threads do we need on this subject and how many times do we need to remind....

                          EPASSPORTE IS REIMBURSING THE FEE. JETTIS IS WAIVING ALL ACH FEES.

                          This disaster hit quite quickly and ePassporte decided rather than attempting a programming change, why not deal with an accounting headache after the fact and get a relief effort up post-haste.

                          Nevermind the personal donations both companies have made.

                            This is one reason that Epassporte rocks

                              Contributors might seriously consider an alternative to the Red Cross, such as the Salvation Army. Memories are apparently short, but it took protests after 911 to force the Red Cross to release all the money they had raised following that tragedy. And that wasn't the first time the Red Cross held back money for its own future development and other projects from the funds raised after a major disaster.

                              FYI although some charities discourage it, you should be able to specify what you want your donation used for. One reason I recommended the SA is that they have put up special forms for hurricane Katrina relief and marked it as the default option for donations.

                                That and I am sure ePassporte will add a little extra themselves.

                                          I'm sure there not going ot get rich off it and I bet it will all go back into the fund raising.

                                          I wonder how much red cross skims off the top for there Executives
