Tay, you are a member. But the raffles are offered to members who have made donations to help offset the costs of running the forum. Noxx, the forum owner, recently started the raffles as an incentive for members to make a donation. Follow the link he provided in his response to you (currently at the bottom of his signature line). A couple of members have reported problems with the donation process recently, so Noxx may still be working on getting that fixed.tay said:
Yeah, they're crazy like that. A partner & I were selling precision-cut gemstones from about a dozen cutters in the US & Canada. As soon as PayPal realized we were selling gems, they asked for ridiculous amounts of documentation (which is meant to weed out money laundering). Once I explained to several people over the course of several months that we didn't even come close to the threshold reporting amounts, they were cool. But our account was frozen solid in the meantime.Noxx said:
