For some reason Paypal's automated system that processes our donations is taking a long time to notify our server that payments have been received. Normally, this notification is sent virtually instantaneously, and our server processes the payment and gives your account on DU credit.

It appears that the delay is currently anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour, and we have no idea why it is taking this long for Paypal to notify our server.

It also appears that in rare circumstances, our server never receives the notification for a donation, and the account never gets credit.

You will know if your payment was properly processed if you receive a DU private message from Skinner thanking you for donating to the fund drive.

If you donate to the fund drive, and do not receive this PM immediately, please be patient. If, after an hour from the time of your donation, you have still not been given credit on DU and received this PM, please contact me and I will give you credit manually.

We apologize for this inconvenience.

Thanks
