PayPal Loves Cats but Not Poor People

Makes sense.

*ME refers to the author of the blog linked above and not me me.

PAYPAL: Only a nonprofit can use the Donate button.
ME: That’s false. It says right in the PDF of instructions for the Donate button that it can be used for “worthy causes.”
PAYPAL: I haven’t seen that PDF. And what you’re doing is not a worthy cause, it’s charity.
ME: What’s the difference?
PAYPAL: You can use the donate button to raise money for a sick cat, but not poor people.

Issue had been resolved but only after the bad publicity.

Regretsy Issue Resolution

Barely an apology there.
