How to File a Complaint With PayPal

1. Log into your account on the PayPal website.
2. Determine if your complaint is because an item being delivered was different from its description, an order was never delivered or an unauthorized transaction took place.
3. Click the 'Resolution Center' hyperlink under the 'My Account' tab on the top of the homepage if you have a dispute related to an undelivered item or if the delivered item is significantly different than its description.
4. Click the 'Dispute a Transaction' hyperlink to open your case. You must open your case within 45 days of the date that payment was made. From this point, you have 20 days to resolve the dispute with the seller.
5. File a claim with PayPal in the 'Resolution Center' if you cannot come to an agreement with the seller. You must file a claim within 20 days of opening the dispute. Disputes not escalated to a claim within 20 days will be considered resolved. PayPal will investigate the transaction and resolve the claim either in your favor or in favor of the seller.
6. Enter the details of your claim in the 'Resolution Center' under the 'My Account' tab if your complaint involves an unauthorized transaction. PayPal will review the specifics of your claim, request any additional information needed from you and other involved parties and refund the amount of the transaction if deemed unauthorized. If other parties are involved, PayPal will request information as needed and give the other parties seven days to respond before settling the claim.

How to Create a Donation Website

1. Use software. Donations need to be timely. You might need to raise money to pay rent or help someone in a news story. Learning how to program, design and build a website can takes months or even years. Consider creating a donation website with existing software. Set up a blog for free with Google's Blogger in just a few minutes. Utilizing existing software lets you focus on the problem at hand instead of adding stress by learning how to make a website from scratch.
2. Share your story. There are a lot of donation websites out there. Yours needs to stand out. Tell people why they should give to help support your cause. Blog on your site often with thank-you notes for the donations. Update your blog regularly to keep readers aware of the running totals of their donations and progress that has been made with your charity or situation.
3. Create a banner or button. If you don't have a design program, use MS Paint. Not everyone who visits your donation website will be able to afford to give money. Visitors can help spread the word out to reach other Internet users. Make a button that details the cause in a few words. If the donation is going to help a specific person, include their picture in the background to lend legitimacy to the cause. Readers can place the button on websites, blogs and forums to get the word out about your donation site.
4. Set up secure payment processing. A visitor may be more likely to donate if your site is trustworthy. People may be wary of giving their credit card information out even if it's for a good cause. PayPal offers a free donation button where users don't even have to have a PayPal account to give money. Buyers will be able to pay from their own PayPal accounts or using their credit card.
Enter the name of your organization in the button creator. Change the appearance of the button and decide what currency users should donate in. Include an email address to receive payments and select whether donors should give a specified amount. Copy and paste the generated code into the html of your blog post or side bar.
5. Accept any amount of money. Readers may be leery of donating a set amount. Ask for anything your visitors can afford. If Internet visitors support your cause the pennies will add up quickly. If they are unable to donate, encourage them to leave thoughtful or inspiring messages.
6. Harness your existing site, auction or estore. Turn any sites that you already have into donation websites. You may make more sales if you donate a percentage of each sale to charity. Customers get a product they need and also help people at the same time.
7. Get the word out about existing charities. You might not be able to set up your own charity due to time constraints. Instead promote a charity that you already believe in using your donation site. Make readers aware of any prevention programs that exist as well as fundraisers.

How to Make a Donation Website

1. Sign up for a web host and domain service. Choose a domain name that is directly associated with your purpose for requesting donations so that it will be more easily located and your visitors will understand what the site is about immediately. For instance, if you are collecting money for your little league team, littleleaguedonations.com would be an ideal choice. Expect to pay anywhere between $5 to $20 per month on your hosting service.
2. Sign up for a PayPal account. This service will allow you to accept donations online without paying an upfront or monthly fee. You will pay a per transaction fee for each donation that you accept. You will also be able to generate PayPal 'Donate Now' buttons automatically using your account.
3. Create three main HTML web pages for the site: 'Homepage,' 'About the Cause,' and 'Donate Now.'
4. Start by creating your donation homepage, which will contain all of the links to your other pages. The homepage should have about 350 words about your company or yourself, and the reason why you are asking for donations.
5. Include a few photos related to the cause on the homepage. Create a side or top menu bar with links to all of the main pages of your site. In addition to the item on the menu, include a large, prominently displayed brightly colored button on the front page that says 'Donate Now.'
6. Write about your cause or purpose for asking for donations on the 'About the Cause' page. Provide a detailed background on your organization or yourself to assure the potential contributor that your cause is legitimate and worthy.
7. Create your 'Donate Now' page. Tell the reader again why you need this donation and where the money will go. You will place another 'Donate Now' link on this page --- this time one that is generated by PayPal to take the visitor to the PayPal site to complete the donation.
