Just started a facebook business page and wanted to use paypal so people to pay for what they wanted. Was told to copy and paste link, when I did it allowed everyone to open my paypal account. Deleted that. Tried another way to choose button but they wanted to know value of product. I have different products at different prices. Can you use paypal on facebook and if so how.

Hi Badgirl66,
If you are selling more than one item you will need to create a button that allows your customers to choose the different items. When you are creating your button you are given the option for different values and then the option for different items.
To create your buttons please go to the merchant tab on your PayPal account. Once you have created your button you will then need to copy the code and add it to your facebook page.
I hope this helps
Paula

Follow the new button instructions. When done, select the email option, not Website. Copy it. Paste into your stauts update. If an error comes up "error cookies not enabled Paypal", simply illuminate the X in upper right above error comment and x it out. Now publish and you have your link.

Hi there.
Do you need to be a registered business on facebook to sell via PayPal/have button?
Thank you

Hi I am having a hard time of fixing this. I am supposed to create an ad on facebook for work and then I chose "Paypal" for the payment method and then when I logged in my account on paypal it says that "We are unable to complete your request at this time. Please try again later. We apologize for the inconvenience." This also happend yesterday. I would like to ask if there other way to fix this?

Another option for Facebook is:
As far as you particular issue, have you tried deleting your web browser's cookies, temp files and history. After that, close the browser, reopen it and retry.
