How does that deals with donation from europe ?
Most of the time these system ask for horrendous fees to converse euros to dollars.

I know for sure that a check is out of question. It would mean a fee of around 20$ to convert it from euros to dollars.

Shrapnel is supporting PBW by supplying the prizes for the "Win Free Stuff" contest.

If you need to write a check, you can make it out to George Perley.

My bank has told me they would let me deposit bank checks from overseas banks at the going currency exchange rate, no fee. They just sit on the money for a couple weeks while they wait for it to clear is all. But that's no problem.

ok, I'll try a check.

Keep us (poor backward) europeans updated if an "unusual" banking fee appears....

This sounds surprisingly easy. Based in Britain, and not a Paypal user, I've also been feeling guilty about not being able to support PBW. I'll try a cheque, and you can let me know what happens.

I'm not a capitalist but why not a pricing system? I think you may charge a MINIMUM price for game to hold the whole thing. I repeat, MINIMUM. The question is hold on with PBW and NOT to enrich geoschmo .

Are you sure PBW would sink if a payment system is used? I think it's more a question what would that money be for.

Just a capitalist opinion.
