As many of you know, I've been using PayPal to accept $0.50 donations on the AOLiza home page. It's been handy and well-received, but PayPal changed their rules last month, changing their fee from 2% of the transaction ($0.01) to 30 cents minimum per transaction.

To combat this I could simply raise my suggested donation to $2 or something, but I'm still not happy about paypal getting 15%, or my asking people for more money.

So here's plan two: If you like Fury.com, if you're a regular reader, if you'd like to support the site, and you happen to shop at Amazon, then drag this link: Amazon to your favorites bar or bookmark list, and use it the next time you shop for books. Fury.com will get a 5% referral bonus for whatever you buy (and more if this is your first Amazon purchase) and you get to feel good about helping keep up the site while buying books, music, DVDs and whatnot!

And hey, if you have a dogmatic aversion to Amazon, well, rumor has it they still sell many of their items at a loss just to drum up business, so the best way to hurt them financially is to buy from them as often as possible!

As always, I'm interested in your comments. Thanks!
