They aren’t allowed to pay donors in Australia. There are worries that payment would attract people who shouldn’t donate and incentivise them to lie on the qualification form

Neat.

Then don’t waste your life and risk your health to give them O plasma they don’t need for transfusions for free.

  That’s a tad selfish.

    I am very familiar with the industry. I am telling you that you are being taken advantage of to benefit a for-profit company that your presumably non-profit blood banks sell your donations to.
    
    It’s one thing when that’s to defray their quote high cost of operating, and they’re selling plasma that would otherwise be wasted.
    
    It’s another thing when they have you coming in just to con you out of plasma.
