Title: Mobileworkers
Post by: uncaer9 on February 24, 2013, 04:13:15 PM
Mobileworkers is a crowd-sourcing site I use to make some extra pocket money. It's addressed to 3rd world countries but earnings aren't bad IMO.
I've sent them e-mail about Bitcoin and got response:  :)

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for your suggestion!  We are looking forward to the time we support additional payment methods, and bitcoin may an easy way to support efficient international withdrawals.

Best,
Anand

I sent to Kiva.org a few days ago.

Hello Pinger,

Thanks so much for your email and your interest in using Bitcoins on Kiva.

At the moment, PayPal provides us with free payment processing on all financial transactions, and to my knowledge they do not accept Bitcoins. You may want to reach out to their customer service team to see if this is an option for payment they may accept in the future.

In the meantime, I'll be sure to pass along your message to the rest of the team.  Thanks for taking the time to email us!

Best wishes,
Laura Piper

I desire more information, read proof, of this. I was under the impression that PayPal gave a reduced rate to NPOs/NGOs, not zero fees.

How much does PayPal cost?

PayPal offers low transaction fees for nonprofits. Fees are applied only when you accept a contribution. If you don’t receive donations, you don’t pay. You will not be charged setup fees or recurring monthly fees.

Nonprofit transaction fees are 1.9% + $.30 per transaction for organizations with over $100,000 monthly volume and 2.2% + $.30 per transaction for organizations with less than $100,000 monthly volume. To be eligible, you must have documented 501(c)(3) status or you will not receive the reduced nonprofit transaction fees.

What solution is right for my organization?

Most nonprofits with less than $100,000 in annual income choose to use the Donate button, which is fast and easy to integrate into your website.

Donors will complete their donation on the PayPal website.
Your organization does not receive the donor's financial details, such as credit card number, so you are not responsible for protecting this sensitive data.
Organizations with over $100,000 in annual income who are interested in additional solutions, please contact sales@paypal.com or call (866) 837-1863
