Hi guys!

Yep, it's through Paypal. If you join the group in my siggy and then follow the steps in the group description, you should have no problem with it!

(The payment request sent to you will be in British Pounds, that's about $14)

Shouldn't we go for the football shirts?

Yes, it's true that there are deserving Coldplay fans who aren't members of the site. Yes, it's true that even if the site does win something, it may not go to the most hardcore Coldplaying devotee. It's exactly the same story with ticketing. Things are never going to be divided up equally and handed out to the most deserving. It's unjust. Plain and simple. Life isn't fair.

You can sit here arguing with an absolutely defeatist attitude and complain about how immoral the whole thing is, or you could embrace a project developed in good faith (perhaps unlike the "really rich people who buy everything") and try and help see that some (rather than NONE) of the items find their way to appreciative fans.

Perhaps I was too harsh... I tend to be a bit skeptical. My posts seem to be getting more people riled up by the day, I tend to just add to much criticalness. I was just trying to point something out... no means to argue. Kudos for getting it up so quickly, though, and organising and funds and whatnot. I just wanted to see how you'd deal with some problems, and again... mm...
For example, PayPal sometimes randomly freezes your account with all funds in there if they think something suspicious is going on, and it's VERY hard to contact them to explain what's going on.

Don't worry about it

I know what you mean about PayPal. It can be a real pain. I've had some really annoying moments where PayPal insists I use a credit card to back my account, even know I have it linked to my bank account.

I haven't got credit card

AnnaElisabeth · 07-01-2010, 09:39 PM
