After payment — activate your Elite access
- Complete the $4.99 USD annual payment using the official PayPal checkout.
- Take a screenshot of your successful PayPal payment (include the payment amount and transaction reference, but hide sensitive financial details).
- Email the screenshot to receipt@gayinbox.com. No email subject is required. Include your GayInbox account username or primary email address in the message so we can identify the right account.
- After we verify the payment, we aim to activate your Elite badge and benefits within 30–60 minutes. Activation is reviewed manually and is not automatic at checkout.
Please do not send your PayPal password, full payment card number or other sensitive account information. Elite is an annual membership, not a lifetime plan. Membership renewal is not automatic unless a separate recurring-payment agreement is set up.
