Hi fabulosadeshawn

Some info from ppal site, its really important u read the help topics

To get paid, someone must send a payment to your email address.

We'll send you an email at that email address to let you know you have a payment. To receive your payment, you must open a PayPal account and confirm that email address.

If you already have a PayPal account, log in to your account and click Activity at the top of the page to view the details of your payment.

As soon as you receive the payment, it goes into your PayPal balance.

When you have a PayPal balance, you can either use those funds to send a payment or you can withdraw the funds. Log in to your account and click Transfer to your bank to view your withdraw options.

I started a collection of items I'd like to buy in the future.  When I would click to "add to collection"  it tells me that my collection will be public and I can change it to private on my profile page.  Please help me find out how to make it private!  Why would it default to being public?  Dang!  And why can't I easily change it right now?  Please help me?  Thanks in advance!
