Looking for a MMMM participant with paypal

Hey guys,

so my two packages with seeds for the MMMM swap are almost ready to go, but I've hit a bit of a hurdle.
I planned on sending a few US dollars in cash in each package to pay for the return shipping costs, but it turns out getting my hands on tiny quantities of US dollars is way too expensive (minimum order amounts + large fees ...). I do understand that Gary doesn't use electronic payments systems, but I'd wager more than a few of the American participants do.

So my question is this: Would one of the other participants with easy access to US dollars give me their paypal address, so I can send them the money electronically? The idea here is that this money is sent in cash in the MMMM package of that participant. This way I dont feel bad for not sending any money, Gary doesn't feel the urge to pay out of pocket, and the kind participant earns my eternal gratitude :)

Anyone willing to be the kind stranger?

@Frosti , there really isn't any need for this. Many of us send in a few extra dollars to help cover the costs of postage for those across the pond. I'm sure that @Tormato will chime in here too to reiterate this.

If it is ever such a worry to you, PM me as I do have paypal.

I think I sent an extra $8.50 in my package. Hope this helps for the poster or someone else ❤️🍅
