Re: MyLot pay-outs, do we have the option to donate our earnings to charity?

Good morning LadyLuna, If I were you I would find out if your favorite charity has a paypal option for payment and I bet they do, then I would just forward that money to them when you deem necessary. I would think for this type of community that most folks that post here need the extra few dollars a month. For those that do not, and quite a few of my friends do not that is a wonderful option. I really think you can do it by acquiring the pay pal address of your organization then when you request payment have it paid out into it.

It is a great idea for people who are like you. How about transfer your earnings to me voluntary since you do not need the money anyway. I need the money.

My dear Ladyluna, you can donate your earnings here in this site or any other site for that matter, provided you follow the following: 1. The receiver organization should have paypal account, so that it can be transferred easily. 2. YOu should get the bank account number of the receiving organization so that from paypal you can transfer the funds to your account in US (free of charge) and send a draft or cheque to charity. It is a good idea that you want to contribute to chartiy. May your tribe grow?

I think it may be good idea. I work with one non for profit in my area, so I always donate locally for homeless dogs and cats. I think you can ask any non for profits in your area, ask them to open an account and transfer money directly to them... Many options I think....

I don't think such an option exists, my lady. Perhaps you can grab a paypal account, link it, withdraw your earnings then donate it to a charity of your choice? Though more inconvenient, you can at least ensure that the money indeed goes to charity and there is no jiggery pokery behind the scenes.:P

It’s a great idea in fact, ladyluna, and I am all for it. I can clearly understand the reasons why you (or anybody) won’t like to link Mylot Account with PayPal account. I do not see any clause in mylot’s “Terms of Use Agreement” or “FAQ” that prohibits providing a different email address for payment than what you registered your account with Mylot, i.e. the email addresses with which you registered with Mylot and Paypal can be different. Refer to: Clause 16, for ‘payment’ terms in Mylot’s “Terms of Use Agreement”: http://www.mylot.com/o/terms.aspx FAQ, chapter 6, under “What is a PayPal email?”: “ It may be the same email address that you gave myLot when you signed up, or ‘it may be a different email address’, but it is the email address that you supplied PayPal when you registered.” http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx But, to be on safe side, it’s always good to ask directly, especially given the fact that Mylot admin frequently changes terms and conditions, so much so that it’s difficult to keep track :-)

Hello ladyluna I think thats a great idea donating your earnings to your favorite charity. I know we dont have that option here. But maybe you could mention it to mylot. You never know till you ask.LOL

That sounds like a great idea. Honestly I would prefer to just get the payout on my paypal account, but people I know will be willing to donate directly. I do support a lot of charities offline in real life though!

There is a problem, there are so many charities that some will get lots, and others hardly any. I would think it would be better if you donating your earnings to a local charity in your city or town or country where they can do the most help. If you link your myLot payout with Paypal, maybe you could search for a charity that accepts payout with Paypal.

Here I go again, assuming that because something is logical it therefore exists, but I truly do not see why you wouldn't be able to supply any paypal address you want, so that if you don't have a PayPal account you could substitute that of your favorite charity or if you have more than one, just rotate them, as surely we are allowed to change the designated recipient address prior to each payout. Of course, I am of the opinion that everyone who can should have a PayPal address, and if you set one up for yourself, then with a few keystrokes you could route the money you received appropriate notations. That seem preferable to me because then all of your accounting records for taxes and that sort of thing would be in one place. Out of the loop? Not exactly, as one paid-to-write site paid me unexpectedly before I had thought of setting up my earnings preferences, and they defaulted to their own favorite charity. Hah! I wasn't quick enough on that one. But as far as electronic banking goes, you may be lagging a bit, and truly, I should like to invite you to officially enter the 21st century any time you feel you are ready! I still have a few close friends and family who haven't done it yet, but I cannot fathom why.

I dont think there is any such option, but now that you talk about it, it would be a nice one if they ever add it. People have all sorts of reasons to hold back their pay pal account from mylot, and donation to charity would be a nice way to offload that money. It's also quite nice to know that you are continuing on at Mylot in spite of having no means to liquidate your earnings.

i have no interest in the earnings as it is insignificant towards any earnings that i make so i am 100% behind you and would not hesitate to donate to a worthwhile charity. if you can get it organised, count me in!

Since I have no clue how a paypal account works I have not received a payout either. The charity thing sounds really nice Dear Lady! Right now the whole paypal thing is out of order according to a friend of mine who does something else on the net and has such an account. He cannot get to his money at all. Shalom~Adoniah

i use my earnings to donate to charity also hun but ijust wait until they go into my paypal account and then i am lucky enough to have a charity website that accepts donations from paypal xxx

If you really want to donate your MyLot earnings to charity, just claim the money thorugh paypal or e-Gold or whateer, and then do with it as you please, once you hae aquired the money. If there is a reason why you have not done this, why not get a new paypal account JUST FOR MYLOT, and have another one for your regular use.
