Bitpay might be worth looking into. https://bitpay.com/
From what I understand, you pay with Bitcoins, and the Bitcoins get automatically sold on one of the exchanges, converted to fiat and sent to your bank account. The exchange rate is updated every minute.
I can buy Bitcoins and have them in my wallet within 15 minutes. https://bittylicious.com/
And they’re only vulnerable to theft if you don’t take proper precautions. Encrypting your wallet, keeping a backup, paper wallets etc.
https://coinbase.com/
Coinbase is another option. This one doesn’t mention anything about businesses. From what I can see it looks like anyone can set up an account.
(Sorry for the multiple posts, I’ll stop now).
Aw that’s horrible. Maybe you could set up a PO Box for snail mail donations? Not sure how much it would cost though. But I would assume it would be a case of collecting from your local postal office. Unsure..
Oh, I don’t know then. Good luck with whatever you try. I can imagine it being concerning considering the costs involved in running some of your stuff that’s reliant on donations. I hope you still manage to reach your monthly goals.
Have you investigated Amazon Payments? I remember when one of the Ragnarok Online servers that I played on years ago had their PayPal banned for “reasons” they swapped over to using Amazon Payments.
Why not just create a new account and empty it each time you receive a donation?
You could automate that progress and if paypal fucks that account, just make another one, and so on.. till they get it to not fuck with doki
or you could make 1 main account that you dont make public and create fake accounts to collect the payment, then create a fake website that sells fake goods that look like real stuff and buy with the fake accounts on that website giving all the cash to your real account (the one you dont make public).
This idea actually is fucking good! i gotta have to make that myself now. cya my people need me!
Why bother with paypal? Though I’m wondering why there still are so many people using this service…
Because one thing you can be sure of is that your account will be banned, sooner or later, depending on what you’re doing. And there is absolutely nothing you can do against it…
So the best option is not to use paypal at all, for anything.
There are other options…
But I don’t know how viable they are for a ‘normal’ Website. Things that come to mind are things like ‘Paysafecard’ or flattr…
Don’t even need to do that. You can send money to other people as a “gift”. Paypal cannot ban you if the transaction is standalone and not related to any service/product/organisation.

Bitcoin/Litecoin? It’s better than that Paypal shite.
I considered that a while back, but given the volatility of BTC/LTC, is that a good idea?
i’d never use BTC, takes too long to acquire and is vulnerable to theft.
Why do they ban in the first place? Is it forbidden to get some financial love?
It is against Paypal’s T&C to be involved in stuff that violates copyrights.
Well hopefully you get donations back up soon, I didn’t even know the site took them. I’d donate at least 100 yen, that’s a lot right?
Donations are ready to go, just send me an email.

In fact, I’m not sure if that isn’t just for businesses. Need to check.
Huh. I thought I replied directly to this message. My reply here:

More effort involved = less people bothering to donate.

That’s fraud, and is severely punishable by law. That’d only be a good idea if you wanted Holo to go to prison or for Doki to get shut down.
I don’t like either option, cause I like Doki, I find much good anime here.
That’s like half a penny.

What about skrill? https://www.skrill.com/
There is also Flattr.com

I sent a $25 one around 4-5 days ago just confirming you got this one?
If not once the money comes back I will send the other way
That blows…There must be a way to mask the transactions as some form of product purchase…whether it is a physical product or a service.
Don’t even need to do that. You can send money to other people as a “gift”. Paypal cannot ban you if the transaction is standalone and not related to any service/product/organisation.
Nah, don’t use BTC/LTC. They’re not credible currency, as no legit rules binding them as “valid money”.
Are you saying it needs to be regulated before it can be considered a “valid currency”?
interesting, how some group manages to collect >3.5k in 24h and get their money and you manage to get screwed over for ‘a few bucks’ ^^
Those groups are more careful, lol. I learnt my lesson now.
