Carl, just go to paypal.com and you will be walked through the steps of setting up an account. It takes only a few minutes and costs nothing. If this effort to save the site fails, setting up the account with paypal will have been a waste of only a few minutes and no money.
Keeping the service as it now is costs $500 per annum. That's not a lot of money per person. If TEN of us pledge four dollars and twenty cents per month we have it covered. That's all it is. Not even three quid. Less than a fiver in USA. Come on! We can all do this IF we all do this.
