____________________________
[UPDATE]
There seems to be some error with the system, and the money of the users that tried to donate via Obebip so far was instantly refunded.
We are trying to figure out what is causing the error, but the problem is that we have no real way of checking whether our changes to the coding actually work or not unless someone tries to donate.
We also had to adjust the rate to 2,10€, instead of 1,90€, because we stupidly managed to miss some more additional fees charged by Onebip. We are sorry about that, but even with this higher rate, Onebip still charges a way greater fee than PayPal (46%!).
We are really sorry for this mess, but I can only blame it on Onebip that has no system that lets you check whether your coding works or not.
[UPDATE II] I just made the most useless waste of € in my life and donated to myself to test the system. It seems to work now. Sorry again for all the trouble! X.x
_______________________________
Hey guys!
From time to time users have requested a method to donate via mobile phone.
We have been searching for a service that does not charge 70%+ fees for quite some time and think we finally found one that could be suitable, even though the fees are still gravely higher than PayPal for donations above $5.
From now on you can donate using your mobile phone with the help of Onebip. In order to use this service you need to sign up for a free Onebip account.
Before you can donate, you need to charge your Onebip account with a sum that is predetermined by Onebip through your mobile phone.
This sum is completely different for every user depending on where you live and we do not have any influence on it.
The donation rate with Onebip is 2,10€ = 1 Fairy Coin  .
You will be charged this sum in your own country's currency and it will probably vary depending on the daily exchange rate.
Unfortunately, Onebip does not seem to offer any service to users living in the United States. It did in the past, but there are no information about why this option was removed, and Onebip still has a US service phone number, so we hope that this option will be re-implemented at some point.
We understand that this is not the ideal solution for everyone, but it is the best we can offer for now, we are constantly looking out for different options though and a are welcoming every suggestion!
We are currently just testing this new option, and can't fully guarantee that there won't be any errors occurring, please report back if you encounter any problems!
Other than this, we have updated our PayPal Donation system: You will now instantly (more or less) get your Fairy Coins after donating, no more 24-hours-waiting-times!
We have also updated the Donation Site with some more donation methods, that have previously been scattered around the site, like in FAQs or forums to explain how users from the EU can donate via bank credit transfer (1,60€ = 1FC ) or users from all around the world via letter (5€ = 3FC ).
You can find all these information, as well as the PayPal and Onebip donation links in the "Donate" tab in the linkbar.
Have fun!

Ah! That's neat! :D
I always have too much cash on my mobile, but not enough in my pocket. XD So this is perfect for me. :)
Thanks. <3
Just one problem: when I try to click on the Donate tab, it takes me to trades instead.

underneath it all, we're just savages
hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
i'm not afraid of god
i am afraid of man
you can keep the last of me
i don't care, i am obsolete
you have seen the last of me
wring my neck, i won't feel a thing

Try either a hard refresh or clearing your cache, your browser seems to still store old information, but the links got changed a few minutes ago.
