We have been experiencing difficulties with PayPal so many of you have not been able to pay for your badges. We sincerely apologize and are working hard to get it up and running again.
This means good news for you! We will be extending the deadline by a few extra days after PayPal is back up. If you have any questions or concerns please e-mail us at registrationATfanimeDOTcom
Thank you. I just tried to pay again with PayPal and it still is not working at 10:35 PM PST.
yay
Arigatou gozaimasu <3
So, if I buy one of these tickets/ passes I’ll be able to go for all 4 days, or will i have to pay for each of the days I want to go?
D: still down hope its up so i can buy my badge!
What if I don’t have PayPal acct? Can I have my friend pay it through their acct and still get my Fanime Pass?
I’ve been trying to purchase two badges for several days. I have a paypal account but the paypal site says Fanime is not able to receive money right now. Please extend the early reg. deadline some more because there are still people like me having trouble.
Is there any known work-around? Another computer? I’m using Firefox, though E worked even worse.
BTW, I also cannot log in to my facebook account thru the website. I found this backdoor through facebook which allowed me to leave a comment.
Thanks!
Will I be able to register after the new deadline and if so, how much will it cost me?
Is registration up yet???
Why is paypal the only method of payment???
I AGREE WITH RUSSELL
And Seriously do you guys know when approximately when paypal be back up?
@Gerry Harp,
Please email me at webmaster [at] fanime [dot] com with any errors and your computer information such as browser and operating system. I’ll try to investigate.
Everyone else, I’ve forwarded your questions to the appropriate departments to try and get some answers.
Hey everyone, here are the answers I got from our registration department:
PayPal accepts credit/debit card payments without having to create or use a PayPal account. While we would like to have more payment methods, we are a convention of volunteers with limited resources.
Registration payments will be back up hopefully this coming week. Because the problem is with PayPal we cannot give an exact date. When PayPal is back up, we will be extending the $50 price point. You will be able to continue to pre-register at $50 per badge until the price changes or pre-registration ends.
We are fully aware that PayPal is not working and once it is back up we will post an announcement on the website. We thank you for your continued patience.
For any further questions please e-mail registration [at] fanime [dot] com

Glad the deadline is extended…now just waiting on PayPal…come ooooonnnnnn PayPal!
Huh – last year I got pre-registration sometime in March. is that still going to happen? i remember the pre-registration thingy ending March 30th or something last year.
I just tried paying for mine again today, and it worked. So looks like paypal is working again.
Yup, I just posted an announcement about that. Registration GO!
