Discrepancy between Donation $ and credits

Hello

I was wondering if there is a fee to make a donation

I was testing the system and donated 9 Canadian Dollars. It only translated into 458 credits but internally I can buy 500 credits for just under 8 Canadian dollars

Not sure but to me it look like I lost about 100 credits worth

There shouldn't be a fee to donate credits.

Yup that is what I though but never the less I notice the discrepancy stated above

So no one from management has any comments as to why there is a discrepancy of about 20% between a donation and a purchase?

If that is the case the advice should be to donate directly to a paypal account own by the forum admin and let him/her do the buying of Forumotion credits.
