I'm having that EXACT same issue with an old email that I still use. I don't use paypal often and have JUST started doing commission work, so I use paypal to receive payments and I'm getting the same issues over confirming that e-mail address to get at the payments. Code doesn't work from the e-mail that I got that says "You have money!", the confirm e-mail link says it's from an outdated version of paypal, and UGH. I've been clicking the send another confirmation e-mail link all day, but I'm just not getting it.   What's up with paypal?! Jesus @#%&ing Christ!! B/ ... View more

Ok. I am doing commission work and I had some one commission me and the total was $40. I told her to send it to my then primary e-mail of which I have used since 2007 and been able to send money with with no problem. I have never received money before, though. I also don't know if you can send money with an unconfirmed account or not. Like I said, I have sent money before using that e-mail, so I don't know if I'm one of those who has had a previously confirmed account that is now unconfirmed or not.   But that's not the issue. I keep asking for a confirmation e-mail for that particular account and I am not getting one.   When I received money and clicked on the e-mail to confirm that address, I got this: "You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks."   I then copy the confirmation number to try that and get the message that it doesn't match the number in the site's records. Since then, I have been clicking and asking for a new confirmation number or just a confirmation e-mail in general. But I have not received one for my old account e-mail. I can't get at that money with out it being confirmed, but I CAN'T confirm it. I have changed to a new primary e-mail and deleted the old one. Then I reentered it and asked for a new confirmation e-mail. I STILL haven't gotten that e-mail, but got it just fine for the new primary e-mail.   What is going on and how in the heck can I get this fixed? ... View more
