PayPal Disaster!

Attention Weblogger Dinner attendees: I screwed up when I set up the new DropCash campaign. Instead of making the donations go to an email address that PayPal recognizes as mine, I had it go to the email address on my TypeKey account (this happened pretty much automatically since you log into DropCash using your TypeKey account). Because there is no PayPal account set up for that address, people have been having trouble contributing, and I’m not really sure what state the money is in.

I apologize for the screw-up and will get it corrected as soon as I can. Thanks for your patience!

P.S.: Next year, we will not be using PayPal or DropCash for this. Live and learn, I guess.

(Update: I think I’ve got it sorted out now. Phew.)

(Update: Just to clarify, the money that has been sent so far did get to me, but the progress bar isn’t updating until my bank account on my second PayPal account is confirmed. What a fiasco!)

    so does that mean the money Paypal-ed yesterday has got to you or not?

    Why does the “Weblogger Dinner” link point to your front page and not to its own page? :)
