You want $100,000??? Are you crazy? If you need to expand the website or advertise more, then do it. Use you're own money and don't ask you're customers to pay $100,000.

Our customers are getting free selling in trade for their donation. Problem with that? I have made 6,000+ gamers free to use the site for life so we have done nothing but "give" since we launched the site 4-years ago. GG is selling a few thousand dollars of gamer's items each month and we don't get a penny from it. This is a way for us to make some money and give gamers something good in return and bring more money in to help fund its growth. There is no downside for anyone, really. Have you seen all the kickstarter campaigns recently. There are some good legitimate businesses and projects getting funding by people who believe in what the business owners are doing. If you want to donate to the cause then great, if not, who cares, it's your choice.
And by donating through this campaign you end up paying less than than the $7.99/month seller subscription so it's all good. If you can do the math that is $96 for one year of unlimited selling and we are offering 2-years of unlimited selling for a one time donation of $100.
