<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies.</p>
<p>Perhaps, we should wait until the end of the year to see how things develop and leave PayPal until then.</p>
<p>Note that we would definitely keep PayPal alive (but not advertise it), should we run into troubles with Stripe (similar to the troubles we had with PayPal). Hopefully, at all times we can have at least one of the two options operational. I read from other companies who said, it is always good to have choice and not be dependent at one single credit card payment system.</p>
<p>BTW: Tim told me that the FOSS4G organizers also had their PayPal account limited or blocked for a while - very inconvenient if you are organizing such an event and are dependent on the income.</p>
<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

I think we should leave both to allow as many ways as possible to<br /> donate, giving money needs to be something comfortable.<br /> <br /> cheers<br /> Marco</div>
