Got Screwed by Amazon...final appeal done

Most of you might remember last year that I asked those that use Amazon for their Christmas purchases use the link on Christmas-vacation.com to donate to my wife's charity Gifts for Teens.

Well, we did really well and we were owed a little over $11k from Amazon. Payment was scheduled to come just after Christmas so I loaned the charity the money and along with the donations she gets from businesses, she bought presents for 83% of all the Teens on her lists. The best she had done since she started almost 10 years ago.

Anyway, just after Christmas, Amazon accused me of cheating. They have an appeals process and today we received the final word. They are not paying us.

Last year, many of you suggested that I put up a direct donation page using paypal and epassporte. I never wanted to do that but, this year, that is exactly what I will be doing. I am setting it up now and about a 2 months before Christmas, I will open it up for those that want to make donations.

Now, I just need a good designer, "urb" to do something for that page
