Computer glitch remedied! A computer glitch caused my donation to be processed twice. I immediately contacted GoFundMe and Eleanor had the second charge reversed in a matter of minutes.

Don't do it! Out of $60 they are only giving $38.54 to my charity. This is outragious! I have set up a personal account for my charity now where 100% will go to it. I wish I would've read the reviews before starting this.

Transfers are always paused for no reason!! Sadly, i took the risk of collecting funds for individuals amidst the war in Gaza to support families losing homes and loved ones. Once the funds started collecting, thank fully i started transferring straight away. Just like everyone else has stated they simply hold funds and pause transfers, which completely defeats the object of a fundraiser, no matter how many documents and info you provide. Its sad really, please dont start a fundraiser with them, there are plenty others to start a fund with. Many advised me not to go ahead with gofundme, but i took the risk and learnt my lesson. Hoping to retrieve the remaining funds or refund them all then close this down and open it up with another. Gofundme also take a cut from every donation FYI!!!! UPDATE: Responded back to gofundme via the email they provided, and still no response!

Setting up a GoFundMe for a Palestinian… Setting up a GoFundMe for a Palestinian family of three currently trapped and literally starving in Gaza (Rafah). After initial setup, receive message from GFM that my account is 'under review' pending my response to 'urgent' questions re the goals of my fundraiser. People can still contribute but I will not get any of these contributions until this 'urgent' review is resolved. I answer the long list of questions immediately, then hear nothing from GFM. Meanwhile people contribute to the site, but I never see any of the money and am thus unable to forward help to my friend's family in Gaza. Guess GFM Team is not starving and thus can take their time.

GoFundme only cares about good publicity Thousands of fundraisers on Gofundme haven't recieved a cent after months or even years, yet Gofundme only shows the ones that have already made thousands. Even worse, you can't filter to help someone start their fundraiser, you can only filter for ones that are almost complete. This shows that Gofundme cares more about a single success story for their website than actually helping people :(
