1. DO NOT give anyone that code, they are trying to hack your paypal account.
2. DO NOT accept friends/family, you will have no seller protection in the event of a chargeback and its against paypal rules to use that option for selling anything and can lead to an account limitation.
3. Pending payments always SHOW in your paypal account balance. No payment showing = you have not been paid.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
