Hello so i want to get gold supportership but my my mum is woried if it's safe. she don't have paypal and she must pay with something else so please give me good awnsers please help me
PayPal accepts credit/debit cards, so just suggest that she uses one of them. Supporting is completely safe.
Before I became a Moderator, I was a Gold supporter. It's perfectly safe. I used my debit card. If you need to use something like a gift card, though, feel free to message IcecreamCow. He handles billing problems for JustinGuy, the owner of Empire Minecraft.
I dont know what Paysafecards are.... but does paypal accept it? Certainly not iTunes. Because EMC is not assocated to apple through itunes in any way, shape, or form
I've never had a problem with Paypal or any other company online. Observe proper web security precautions. Choose a secure password, type in URL's instead of clicking on email links, make sure the web pages you enter information into are secure(https, not http), stick to well known companys, and all that. There's more details you can find by searching, for example here: http://www.fbi.gov/miami/news-and-outreach/stories/simple-precautions-can-prevent-internet-fraud When I feel insecure about this stuff, I remind myself that there are probably hundreds of millions of web transactions made by banks and other financial institutions, merchants, and consumers made daily. The lions eat the weak zebras. Educate yourself so you're not a weak zebra and you'll be fine.
I don't think there are any other options. If you don't feel comfortable with Paypal, you can contact IceCreamCow and try to work something out with him. The bottom line is that you have to trust someone on some level to do anything. Even if you were to send a check in the mail, you're potentially putting a piece of paper with your bank account and routing information into many people's hands some of who may not be trustworthy. Yet people do it everyday without a second thought. Same with Paypal. Be smart with passwords, avoid Nigerian prince scams and everything will be ok.
