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.

You might be able to do that. If you’re erring on the side of caution, you might want to see if you can generate a virtual card number with your credit card provider so that you don’t give your actual number. Also, for the love of all things, do not tie your main debit card to it. If something happens, they can clean you out and you have much less recourse than with a credit card. Just note that credit cards may charge a cash advance fee on top of it. Depends on the sliding scale of risk vs extra cost.
