You can either follow the instructions in this thread:

https://democraticunderground.com/125629039

Or, if you don't want to use PayPal at all, we now have an alternative payment method here:

https://buy.stripe.com/bJe14he2q1B81qj3e9bwk01

If you use the Stripe method, please bear in mind that there might be a short delay getting your Star Membership updated and getting your hearts, because I have to process them manually (we don't have Stripe automated just yet).

Thank you!
