Ok I have a theory, I think that the gimp account was set up on a different time than OOo. This might be not the fault of either gimp nor OOo but the policy at paypal applied to most of the newer accounts but the older ones didn't.
I am investigating on this, I made a donation through my CC to both Gimp and OOo and I saw that the OOo gave me the message of: "The email address or credit card has already been added to a PayPal account. If you have already opened a PayPal account, enter your email address and password into PayPal Checkout and click *Log In*. Otherwise, enter a different email address or credit card number to complete your purchase." I will need to ask either paypal on ways of modifiying the settings so the users re not forced to sign in into Paypal. However if you know alternative ways to charge directly to the credit card (like the engine from fundable.org) please dont hesistate to suggest. On 3/28/07, Benjamin Huot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I did use Paypal, but I didn't have to sign up for it. It is like buying on a site but *not* having them save your credit card information with a user name.
