Unable to donate: country restrictions

Whenever I try to donate through PayPal, it doesn't matter whether I choose USD or Euros as the currency, I get the same message: 'Donations to this recipient aren't supported in this country.'
Here's a snip of the message PayPal is giving me each time: https://i.imgur.com/w4i1czn.png
I used to be able to donate through PayPal before, and I'm not sure what's wrong. (My country is India.)

Unfortunately I don't know what is causing this and how to fix this issue or whether that's even something we can fix on our end, but upon doing some research in the paypal forum I found that many people seem to have the same problem starting sometime around the end of last year.
I suggested work around seems to be to send the money directly to the paypal account instead of using the donation button, so you can try that and hopefully it will work? Try sending the amount you wish to donate to [email protected], add a note with your username if that's possible (or send me a PM) and I can hand out the Fairy Coins manually.

I am sorry I don't have a better solution for you right now. :mcgloom:

Thank you, Firn! :mccute: I'll try that the next time I donate! And don't apologise- this is out of your hands. I hope Paypal eventually fixes whatever the issue is since others are facing it too.

Hello, Firn! I have sent a donation to the email and sent you a PM about it.
