I tried to send $10 to another Paypal user's account. My preferred method of payment is the funds in my Paypal account.  There is more than enough there to cover the funds I want to send.  Yet after I input the amount and clicked proceed, I got a "your preferred method of payment is not available" error.   What does this mean, why am I seeing this, and how do I fix it?  I do not want to use other methods of payment on my account. I want to use the funds in my Paypal account. ... View more

I write a personal blog and want to set up a way for readers to make monthly donations to support it. Since many of the donors would be friends and family I want to set this up so they can donate without a fee. But from what I'm reading you only set up subscriptions or recurring payments with a business account. I want to maintain a my account as personal. Is there any way to do this with a personal account? ... View more

I accept Paypal donations on behalf of a blog I own.  In the past two weeks, I've received a series of $1 donations from individuals whose names are unfamiliar.  I have never received a donation in this amount before via Paypal.  So far I've received 5 of these donations, each supposedly from different individuals.  The first person who made such a donation then disputed the donation.  Because the matter is in dispute, I could not refund the funds to the donor.  I had to call Paypal to notify them that I did not solicit the donation, did not bill the person for the donation, & know nothing about what happened.  Paypal told me to e mail the person saying that if they removed the dispute I could then refund the money.  I did so, but the matter remains in dispute.  I wonder whether the individual's e mail address is even real.   Since several others of these donations happened immediately afterward, this is starting to look like a pattern.  Should I refund the money of all the donors before they can claim a dispute?  Anyone else know why this may be going on?  Does someone want to **bleep** up my status with Paypal so I can no longer accept donations? ...

I can't do it in a desktop or using Mobile app. Instructions say to log out and then click on Update. When I do this on the desktop there is no Update button. On mobile app I don't see any way to do this at all. ... View more

Someone in the UK wanted to donate to my Paypal account using a Visa debit card.  Paypal would not accept the card, but it would accept a Halifax Bank Mastercard. Another donor in Switzerland also told me Paypal would not accept his form of payment. What restrictions, if any, are there on forms of payment from overseas? ... View more

I'm seeking a way to install a Paypal donation button on my Facebook page (either personal or community).  I've tried & failed to do tihs through Fundrazr.   I don't want to post a donation link in my Timeline status box.  I want a button that will be permanently displayed & prominently on the page. ...
