UP THE AMAZON WITHOUT A PADDLE

Turns out we’ve burnt up their system. Many of you have received an error message, saying we can’t receive payments at this time. The reason, apparently, is that Amazon has set some arbitrary limits to how much we can receive in a given period of time. Apparently, this is to prevent fraud or something. And they’ve never had a response of this magnitude for a site like this. So they stopped collecting payments at an arbitrary point. (It happened in the middle of the night). Anyway, it must be EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING to go to the trouble of clicking, only to be told that you can’t give anything. You can imagine how FRUSTRATING it must be to hear it on the other end. The good news, of course, is that there are more of you willing to give than they can process at one time. So please hang in there. We’re asking them right now to increase our Amazon-imposed limit. Until then, please hold on. Or, better still, send an old-fashioned check. Write the check to ‘Fantascope- andrewsullivan.com’ and send it to 101, W 23rd Street, Box 2347, New York, New York, 10011. Thanks for all your generosity and patience. As soon as Amazon has responded, we’ll let you know and you can try again.
