Itβs a massive barrier to me donating to stuff. I could spare a few dollars but am wary of risking my financial security or leaking my details.
FWIW, I have paid/donated to things with pseudonyms before, and I've never had my bank block them before. You're not meant to, and if your bank isn't shit like mine, they should block it (especially if a credit card). Another option is using one of those visa gift card doo-dads, but idk if they work with PayPal
I did once or twice with a prepaid but donβt take risks now
