Can't donate from Indonesia with paypal

Hey, I want to support this site a bit, but when on Paypal page there's an error about how I can't donate from my country.
The error message:
"Donations to this recipient are not supported in this country."

Is that from Paypal, when blocking from particular country to do transaction? Or is is from Darebee setting itself? For now my only way to donate is using PayPal, so I can't donate now

@micah.alamo thank you so much for being here and also for wanting to support us. It means more than I can tell you right now. Unfortunately this is a PayPal restriction and there is nothing we can do at present. We're aware of the issue and are working to find an alternative way for those regions that PayPal restricts. Stay safe and keep working out.

@anisalewis we're testing an additional way to do this. We should have the report back by mid-April and then I will update this thread.

It's me again, you seems to add that Donorbox thing in donation method, but again after I put my debit card info, ready to donate, the page is stuck, with no error warning or no completion/success message, the history of my bank side also show no transaction, it may means not successful payment.

The thing is I'm afraid to test to donate again, the last thing I want is to press button too much and being charged multiple times. (Sorry for being cheapskate, as we are on budget too)

Thank you so much for coming back here to check and thank you for trying to support us. It means the world to us. I checked with our payment processor. Indonesia is a little tricky because of current government restrictions on international payments. We are keeping an eye on things to see if anything changes or if there is anything else we can do. If there is I will update it here.

Tell me about it, mate. The government will do anything to hinder our activities/business, yet illegal online betting run rampant that has ruined families in this country. Sorry for political rant. The next time I found a way to donate, I'll gladly doing it.

I feel you! @micah.alamo We live in crazy times. Our systems of governance are not fit for purpose anywhere. And, thank you!

Facing the same issue while trying to donate via Paypal from India. Can we presume it to be the same challenge that you highlighed above in this case too?

@Ayyagaru we recently went through Paypal's rigorous process for worldwide donations. Unfortunately there are restrictions in place where Paypal's national agreements are in effect with some regions. We're fairly confident that Donorbox solves any issues like this with India and we have it as an alternative. I hope this helps.
