The reason I didn't use PayPal to donate to TDE is that the TDE donation page says not to. I haven't had any trouble with it otherwise, and it has saved me from unscrupulous vendors several times, including a substantial item purchased from Walmart who, like so many nowadays, routes its customer "service" through a boiler room in India. They jerked me around for weeks. I complained to PayPal and had my refund in half an hour.
