So I know donating is hard for many users due to parents and even yourself having problems with transferring funds online, I can reassure you that Sky Servers do not steal any money nor is this some kind of scam.. But yet people still worry about linking their bank accounts to their Paypal or even don't like paying with credit cards and that is understandable.

I will tell you how to secure your payments and make it literally impossible for large amounts of money to be taken from you using online purchases in a series of steps. (Found Below)

1) go to you local newsagent and pick up a "Load and Go Visa Card" they are $7.50 and allow you to recharge money on the card anytime you want until the expiry date which is usually around one-two years.

2) Activate your "Load and Go Card" on the website they provide you with if you have any troubles just message me.

3) Recharge your card with however much money you want at your local newsagent

4) You will now be able to buy online using the "Pay With Visa" option

5) To donate within Sky Servers you will need to make a "Paypal" then link your load and go card to your account and begin paying/donating online using the "Paypal" option for your payments.


So how is this safe? well if you were to be so unlucky as to be scammed well then they can only steal what is on your Load & Go visa so its safe to only recharge the card when you need to buy something online. Also Paypal is very secure by only sending your Paypal details and never revealing your card details making it that much harder for scammers to take your money.

^^ I hope this helps many of you and if you have any problems just ask me as this is the way I shop and donate for items ect. online

p.s You should still get permission from your parents this is just how to ease your parents mind of how there is no possible way you could loose money as they can only take money off of the card meaning your bank, wallet and savings are safe :d

It is still advised that you speak to your parents, it's always good to make sure your parents know what you do with your money! :)

I wish they had these over in the US, or atleast where i live they only have these greencards that you can use as a credit card or 1 time card.

I always use a Visa Load and Go. But I have to make sure my parents know what I'm doing with it.

fyi, tho i know the post is old - there are Many versions of this in the US, tho i know the one i use (Green Dot) requires you to be 18 and register with your social security # to reduce fraud. i believe a visa gift card might be the easiest.

also noteworthy - i've had PayPal for over ten years and never had any problems with the cards or accounts attached to it. you just have to do your homework on who you're sending $ to and make sure you've read everything associated with the transaction.
