Hello, I have a Lumia 928. I am trying to browse PayPal.com, but it keeps redirecting me to the mobile site. I need the desktop version of the site, because on the mobile version it is impossible to accept payments to student accounts. I am not near my computer at the moment and I tried going to my phone browser settings to request a desktop site, but it still redirects me to mobile. Is there a way to switch to the full desktop version of PayPal.com, for example most sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google have a " Request Desktop version" somewhere on the page. I couldn't find this button anywhere on PayPal.com on my phone, and I need to approve the payment ASAP.

Using the mobile site my LG android was not compatible & i could not search 2014 history successfully. Also there was no way to access the desktop version. THEN, I downloaded PayPal from Google Play Store but could not access the app without Google Play Services. SO I downloaded Google Play Services but it took up so much space on my phone it forced close again & again as i attempted to finally log in. I have wasted over 2 hours trying to access my history with no success. And NOW i feel like a complete idiot because i know i'm talking to brick walls on the matter. All i want is to download my transaction history. I do not trust PayPal to be consumer friendly to mobile users unless you can afford an iPhone, which i cannot. I cannot SELL anything without record of purchase. I feel so duped.

Solved. Download Opera browser for your mobile. If you login to Papal using that browser, each transaction has a link to the full desktop transaction. Hope this helps!

Why you do not have a option at the bottom of the paypal mobile for the desktop version is beyond comprehension.

I agree you can't remove bank card too. I have no way of doing this as I only have my phone on old one you could. You can't stop a transaction too.
