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.

So I just checked from my phone and Ko-fi supports straight credit card and Apple Pay. The latter would be the most secure since it uses a token per transaction, but CC would be fine too if you can get a virtual card number. Do you see either of those options?

I'll try again tomorrow. I'm having some trouble here today.

I also missed the part about using Github, and of course I don't know what my options are for that either.

So for virtual CC, I'll try setting that up with my bank, altho it might be a little bit of a long-shot. As an alternative, would you recommend something like... "Privacy.com" I seem to recall?
