@batalanto None of the expenses I called out are from the bank. They're in time spent dealing with the transfers, or in time spent dealing with the fraud consequences of publishing an IBAN on the web.
I don't think anyone involved *likes* Paypal, it's just all the alternatives for dealing with small donations to a place you can't visit in person suck just as much or more.
@pnorman Nonsense. You said “Pretty sure bank transfer expenses exceed PayPal fees”. If you meant to compare xfer *time* to Paypal *fees*, that wording doesn’t work. Also, it’s wrong to assume time is money. To quote RMS: “time ain’t money when all you have is time”.
