| 824112 | 2009-10-25 10:24:00 | Hi, Myself and a group of friends run a fan website for a local sports team and we were thinking about using PayPal to enable readers of the site to help support the running costs of the site. I've had a look at PayPal and tried to join but from what I can see anyone who makes a donation to my site would get an email back with my name on it. Given that our site has always been run as an annonymous fan site is there anyway I can have this functionality on our site without using our names in the confirmation email? Thanks for any advice someone might have. Cheers |

We have people who read and email the site from UK etc so thought that would be the easiest way. Our site doesn't always see eye to eye with the official website of the sports team, hence the reason for the annonymous nature of the site owners. |

Might earn enough to pay for hosting costs; Many forums/car fan sites that I frequent, embed a few ads that are not too obtrusive. They don't seem to use donation widgets. But I think some get support from local companies/agencies - maybe approach a NZ sports agency or similar for support. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
