KSMRT, I really sympathise.
Trying to navigate the labyrinth that is setting up a charity PayPal account.
There seems to be such a deliberate lack of helpful information, it's almost as though PayPal don't want anyone on lower rates.
I suppose it's because it's probably been designed by people who have never set up a charity before, and have therefore never had to go through the process.
Fingers crossed we get there in the end. Unless anyone can suggest an alternative online payment method which is friendly to charities?
PayPal - never underestimate the usefulness of a short video tutorial. I know you like using them for flashy aspirational living clips about New Money, but perhaps rein it back in a little and create some informative walk-throughs.

Is it still the case that Paypal will only accept charities that are registered with the charity commission not that have charitable status or has this changed since the earlier posts, also do you have a business support email to send the documents too ?
Many thanks
