    We all saw for ourselves when we donated. And I'm quite sure most of us tipped the minimal 5%. No big deal. Like i said, gofundme has to get their cut and they don't charge the fundraisers a dime so it has to come from somewhere.

    But to each his own. I hope you manage to get a hold of the lawyer and still get your donation in. It is still a good fight.

    If they were honest and just said they apply a flat rate 10% commission I'd likely have been okay with that. Demanding tips is not acceptable business practice.
    I just looked at the three options which were 5, 10 and 15 percent, and picked 5. Seemed like enough. I only donated 30 in USD, so it was a $1.50 cost.

    Seems that the "other" option is if you are feeling particularly generous. Just the wording, I don't thing they are fooling anyone, just wording it so it sounds friendlier.

    That's odd. I never saw an option for 5%. 10% is way too much. And I still hate the idea of calling it a "tip" because that's a lie. GoFundMe blows, and they are anti-gun, as in don't bother trying to fund anything to do with shooting sports. Don't want anything to do with them.

    Regardless, it's a great project and I wish it every success. I will get a donation in there somehow ...

    Remember to thank him for sitting idly by this issue, and introducing police state during the next election.

    That's exactly what they said in Nuremburg. Doesn't mean they were innocent. The crap that's going down these days is a disgrace.
