I've developed yet. All my stuff is "freeware." I'd simply like to
make it
possible for people to make a donation if they feel so inclined.
Donationware never really works.
Does anybody here use Amazon.com to collect donations? I thought you
used to
be able to send money through Amazon.com, but I can't find a link.
I've got
PayPal right now, but the links below make me a little wary.
PayPal suffered from growing far quicker than it could cope with,
they're now a lot better and more responsive, and freely advertise
support numbers on their site etc.
On the downside of eSellerate, their SN generation thing is *very* easy
to crack and they were being complicated when I asked about
implementing my own (they have to compile your algorithm as a DLL and
link it into their server - I mean, wtf?! Can you say, "bad
architectural decision" - anyway, since it takes manpower & effort
their end they don't do it unless you're a high volume seller).
eSellerate are also not terribly cheap, and the lag thing is very
annoying and stupid.
