Can Paypal include "REGISTERED MAIL", "AIR MAIL" and also "PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL" under Enter tracking information? USPS does not handle it all the way to foreign countries or from foreign countries and there are foreign users or Americans living temporarily abroad, so having to select "OTHER" when shipping from another country creates confusion for the customer. They receive tracking info with a tracking number but with "OTHER" as sender, not as shipping method. So when they see it they ask who is that mysterious "other" that sent me this shipment? They don't see "REGISTERED MAIL" manually entered under "OTHER" as it seems. The system is not thought out till the end. ... View more

I was pleasantly surprised that Pay-pal rep confirmed that by having accepting Pay-pal (checkout) and Pay-pal credit on my shop I automatically also am accepting Ven-mo without any further set up. ... View more

You are now chatting with Christopher Cr Christopher 01:52 PM Hello, my name is Topher! Thanks for chatting with me today. How may I assist you today? (Please note after 5 minutes of inactivity this chat will close.) Hello Tom. Hi. Your "PAYPAL GUEST CHECKOUT" requires to have or create a new Paypal account and only then pay with a credit card, which confuses too many consumers and stops them from paying for their placed orders. That way not only sellers buy also Paypal Inc. loses on your charges and fees. Christopher Cr Christopher 01:53 PM Do you have PayPal Express checkout ? I have many people not pay after they place their orders and they complain that they are confused too much too often and simply give up and cancel their orders without paying through. Guest Checkout should allow people checkout quickly and pay with credit card without registering a Paypal account but Paypal can still catch their fee. The loss of such payments is humongous as I have notice in the past 20 years.... Cr Christopher 01:55 PM You are going to want to speak to your host for your website and have them deactivate Express checkout. Do you have any other questions for me today ? 01:59 PM Why deactivate express checkout? Why host? This is about Paypal interface. My host does not host Paypal.com Cr Christopher 02:00 PM Because express checkout requires customers to create a PayPal account as opposed to a guest checkout. Your host website such as WooCommerce or GoDaddy, whomever you used may require Express checkout. If they do not then you have to reformat your PayPal integration with whatever host site you are using. 02:01 PM And what are the benefits of Express Checkout? Cr Christopher 02:03 PM You can accept PayPal payments from your website with PayPal Checkout on the PayPal or Payflow platform. With PayPal Checkout, your customers don't have to re-enter information already stored on their PayPal account. After approving the use of PayPal, your customers return to your site to complete and finalize their purchase. This provides your customers a secure and convenient payment flow. In addition, if buyers have trouble paying, they can easily return to your website to choose a different payment method. Your customers can pay with any PayPal funding source or their PayPal account balance, which includes any currency balance they may hold. PayPal Checkout is available for any country that can accept payments. 02:04 PM But I am not talking about customers paying me with cash or bank transfer. I am talking solely about paying with CREDIT DEBIT CARD via PAYPAL INTERFACE without the need to even LOG INTO Paypal let alone the need to create a new Paypal account = POSSIBLE? 🙂 Cr Christopher 02:06 PM Yes Express checkout uses Credit Cards, So if you Have PayPal Express Checkout that requires your customers to create a PayPal account, and unless your host requires that service, it is best to deactivate it and then your customers can do a Guest checkout and Not create a PayPal account. 02:08 PM Paypal needs to work on as new interface where people can pay with credit card without even logging into Paypal or without even creating a Paypal account. The recipient of payment can pay they Paypal fees still. OK, well I guess this is the only way today. Thanks I can not deactivate Express Checkout because of too many advantages: https://www.angelleye.com/6-advantages-of-paypal-express-checkout/ Cr Christopher 02:09 PM Thank you.

Now would be nice to see such functionality in Paypal where account holders could block certain IP addresses, certain email addresses, certain ISPs, certain amounts (up to $X, or exact amounts) certain domain names, as well as certain names and (shipping) addresses, same as we can with our real merchant accounts (accepting credit cards).   Regards,   Andrew ...

I was testing a shopping cart software in a DEMO and it had Pasypal test there, to which I logged in thinking it was just a demo, but then it turned out it upgraded me from Premier to a Business account with Paypal. Since then all MESSAGE CENTER messages (old and even newly received ones) no longer found and Message Center itself has disappeared as if Business account is inferior. Paypal has several variants of its websites: New, Business, Old, Premier and it seems (sorry no offense) that those are all maintained by absolute morons and idiots who are confused themselves or most likely it is all intentional, to **bleep** us off, because they think they are in charge and they can do to us whatever they please. Also, the Old version of their website is obviously kept indefinitely, because they know themselves that their "New" version is absolutely insane and that without the Old version of their website Paypal would not be able to function. Lack of professionalism at Paypal is staggering as if they were a socialist government run rubbish collections facility.   P.S. After you write the text only then Paypal wakes up and says:   "Message subject cannot exceed 100 characters."     ... View more

  Here's my case, hopefully it will help to understand yours as well.   Have you ever seen this kind of Paypal Transfer away from your account?   I get a chargeback by someone insane in the USA, because their mail is taking too long after they did not bother to pick it up at their post office or perhaps the USPS were lazy to deliver, so I reshipped it and provided all the proof etc. I try to reason Mr. Chargebacker and provide all the proof of their goods being on their way to him. Finally he responds and writes he is annulling the chargeback. The next day, instead of a regula temporary hold on the chargebacked funds in my Paypal account,  I see the above transfer away by Paypal for the amount of the purchase $208.75 plus $20 chargeback fee that Paypal claims the credit card holder's card provider is charging Paypal. I struggle around Paypal's new and old interface (everything is so well hidden...) and find a record which shows that the chargeback money were indeed credited back to me, but ten Paypal took the above money out of my account by this weird transfer (why not just keep on holding it like they were?) and the link that says "We couldn't  load your details. Let's try that again" is actually a teaser! It never sends me to anywhere and I am sure Paypal has a reason for that. What's going on with your case or my case? Paypal did not have enough time to even read all the docs I provided for the chargeback, let alone submit them to the other party to view. This RUSH with this TRANSFER is very shady and suspicious. What if the chargeback was indeed annuled and money credited back to Paypal, but Paypal decided to keep them and transfer them away from my account? Allegedly, of course. ... View more
