I am a touring musician based in Canada but playing frequently in the US. Will it be possible to use the card reader in both Canada and the US? Square only allows their reader to be used in the country where the account is registered. No good to me.

I have not seen a response from Paypal on this topic in months. You might want to call or email them about your concern.

I just received a reply from PayPal. Apparently the rules are the same. You can't use the card reader outside the country where your account is registered. This makes the whole thing useless to me.

I gave a refund to a customer and it says it is completed in my account. Her account says it didn't go through.  What can I do?  None of the resolution buttons apply to this. Thanks, kiki

I've been trying to sign up for PayPal Here for the last three days and I keep getting a notice that they're having technical problems.

I think I figured it out.  I spent about 30 minutes with my new card reader.  The trick, at least for me, is to slide card through and then back through the reader. I should say, not completely through so the card comes out of the reader, but just til you can feel the pressure release as the card come out of the mag stripe reader mechanism, then pull it back through.  It seems to work about 4 out of every 5 times this way.   It's worth a try.
