I'm setting up a site for a non-profit.  They accept donations to various funds which they administer.  I can't find any way to distinguish the fund name on the donation page -- no matter what Organization Name/Service is associated with the button, it always just shows the company name on the checkout page, and nothing else.  I can have multiple payment button with different donation IDs, so in theory all the funds would be tracked internally, but it's very disconcerting for the user to not see what fund they are donating to.   In case that's not clear, let me show a ficticious example: Company name is Acme Relief. Acme Relief has a Haiti Relief Fund and a South Carolina Relief Fund. I can make payment buttons for the Haiti Fund and the South Carolina Fund internally, and give them different Organization Name/Service entries. Customer checks out via one of the buttons, and ONLY sees Acme Relief.   The issue is that these Organization Name/Service entries are NOT shown ANYWHERE to the customer, that I can see.  When they hit their chosen donate button, they see a page that only says: you are donating to Acme Relief.  They have no verficiation of what fund they are donating to.  This is sure to be confusing.   How can I fix this? ...

Interesting that you were able to get money back -- I was not.  I called Paypal, and they were not able to help me.  They transferred me to Ebay, and the rep said it was a technical issue that would be fixed within a week, and then basically hung up on me.  So I wouldn't exactly call it resolved, especially since I found evidence of this problem occurring with non-Groupon Ebay gift certificates going back until at least March of this year. ...
