I'm out-of-here after 10 years of semi-commercial use.  I hope these screaming purple-hairs go out of buisness fast.  Go woke, go broke!  ... View more

In 2022 the Tax Laws have changed.  Paypal must issue 1099 forms reporting the money you have received through their system to the IRS for any account that receives $600 or more during the year.   So... What receipts of money count as "Sales" for purposes of this requirement.      SPECIFICALLY:  If I recieve money using the "Friends and Family" feature, WILL THIS BE INCLUDED AS "Sales" and reported to the IRS on the 1099?   ...

I have this problem:   The displayed pages are not chinese, but my DOWNLOADED history files (that I need to run my business) are DOWNLOADED in a pictograph-character language that looks like CHINESE.   No other problem with page displays or anything else.  I've tried all the helps suggested on the internet and in this thread.   PAYPAL idiotically still gives me "cvs" files of my historical data in CHINESE.    Are the programers completely inept?  There can be no good reason to do this.  What a fiasco...  I'm spending hours of my valuable time **bleep** around with a website that I should not even notice.   FIX THIS you Fools or I will find another payment service.  At this point I'm PayPal by habit...  but now I'm going to go look at Amazon Payments or some other BETTER, LESS MADDENING website.   FIX THIS NOW or Kiss you 6% goodbye PayPal. ...
