Donations from web page

[Holmberg, Lisa]

I've used paypal for the Tribal Archives, Libraries & Musuems conferences for 4 years now and never had a problem.

I would imagine that Paypal and justgive are probably using the same type of encryption, ssl.  I believe this is the same technology that all secure online sites use, but I'm not security expert.

Did your Foundation members give you details on what they felt paypals security flaws were?  There's a bunch of information here: https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/marketingweb?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=security/seller_protection

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Donations from web page

We have received a suggestions that the library use PayPal to take Internet donations online.  A couple of the Library Foundation members believe that PayPal is not as secure as it could be and recommend justgive.org instead.  PayPal has a transaction fee of 2.9% whereas justgive.org has a transaction fee of 4.5%. I have not experience with either site so I am looking for input from people who have experience with either site.
