Robopoll Project Accounting

I described the nature of the transaction to the PayPal customer service rep (a donation for a volunteer political campaign project) and she said that "Personal Transfer" was appropriate.

Knock yourself out then. But I can absolutely assure you that the Paypal rep is wrong. Also, even though you just told them you're collecting for a project using a personal account. don't be surprised to find your account suspended and you locked out of the access to your funds once their computer flags you for suspicious behavior.

My wife just confirmed what you say. I've withdrawn the entire balance to my bank account (though I guess it isn't really safe until it reaches my bank account in 3-4 business days). I guess as long as I keep withdrawing each payment I receive immediately, there isn't a huge risk if PayPal decides to shut me down.

Got it, thank you!

Yep. Leaving your money in there is a dangerous game. They will eventually discover that you're not up to anything nefarious, of course, but that process can take 3 months.
 
It will take 5-7 business days for Amazon to verify my bank account with microdeposits. Hopefully the expired California drivers license that I provided will not be a problem (I think I gave it to my bank when I opened the account the last time I was in the US).
 
I resent the money through Amazon payments. Fyi, I notice there's two separate $1000 limits for sending and receiving credit card payments. But I sent it with existing credits I had in my account. (Sending from a bank account through Amazon is unlimited for sender and receiver.)
 
Updated with $355 in cash. I'll wait until I have $600 cash before making another deposit at Dynamic Interactive so that I get the 14% discount on call charges. Can we get it by 5pm Pacific so I can have another big day? (305 Ron Paul supporters identified yesterday.)

It's amazing to me your effort doesn't have $3000+ instead of $355...what you're doing could very well win us the Ames Straw Poll and make Dr. Paul the frontrunner for the first time ever.

It has $355 cash on hand. I've raised and spent much more than that. But yeah, I'm surprised there aren't more buyers.

Seriously people. I've given 10% of my weekly paycheck so far, and I will give more when I have it. Who wants Ron Paul to win Ames?
 
If 5 people donate $20, I'll donate another $20 and post the transaction. I will do this up to two times. Post your confirmations.

Weren't you just saying the other day you think people that hadn't maxed out to the official campaign and were eligible to donate to the official campaign to donate to the them instead? if so, why the surprise?

I would have thought the news of this project's success would spread a bit more than it has and bring more maxed-out donors out of lurking.
