Trying to use PayPal to do a Ko-fi donation... (lemm.ee)

After being helped several times with my various community issues by our kind site-runner, I would like to make a useful donation at this time. Oy, but there seems to be a problem:

Now, I use an add-on in Chrome called "uMatrix," which is a script-blocker. This add-on forces me to hand-enable whatever necessary java-scripts there might be on sites, but it's not perfect. Okay, fine, so in Ko-fi's case, I wound up having to turn the tool completely OFF in order to get to the final payment-step, for anyone reading who had issues with such.

Now, to the final step:
My donation / pay options are evidently these: iDEAL, Bancontact, Przelewy24 and EPS.

New problem: I have utterly no idea what those are.
Is there a way then to donate via PayPal, perhaps?

EDIT: Sorry, I guess this should have gone in "Support." Please do move as necessary.

Might I recommend https://liberapay.com/ ? As a user, I can donate with PayPal and they minimize vendor fees by collecting up front from me and performing recurring donations to you (lemm.ee) and it allows me to retain personal privacy if so desired (per the other reply). Here is the core Lemmy developer using the platform for example: https://liberapay.com/dessalines/ | https://liberapay.com/Lemmy/
