How do I put an amount on a PayPal Me link?

[Anlome]

Hello

When I first acquired my PayPal Me account several years ago, I remember you could put an amount in the link so that the person would have to pay that default amount.  If I sold a ticket to my show for $ 40 there was a way to add 40 to the link so that it would say 40$ when they clicked on the link to pay. They didn't have to enter the amount manually.

Did they take this functionality away? Or is there a new way of doing it that I can't figure out.

Any help appreciated. 

cheers.

After login, your amount is "lost", and customer have to write down..

Any solution to make it workin again?

I gave been going around in circles with PP Support and they advised me no one else were having the issue, and then I think these posts.  They were going to forward it to technical, so I have responded to the support request with this link to this post, so they can see it is not just an isolated issue, and more people have had the issue.

You are totally right. This method is broken.

If someone is from PayPal here, please read these posts.  When I sent a support request for the issues and links to here, I got the following in red

Are PayPal even reading support request, or is it just a robot doing automatic replies ?
