Re: PayPal invoice layout, spacing and font change...

So far the only responses have been from users suffering the same problem, there seems to be no solution so far. We are experiencing the same problem: font changes, page size altered so that the invoice details spill out the righthand side of the printed invoice - what previously looked like professionally prepared invoices now look amateur and not fit for purpose. Surely there's a way to change the "print" settings hidden somewhere in the bowels of PP. ... View more

How to change account holder details

Our account is held in the name of a Camera Club. The officers of the club have now changed which means that the details held by PayPal need to be changed. This includes my name and contact details which need to be removed and the contact details of the new member of the club who has taken over my role and will be carrying out future PayPal transactions need to be added. How do I go about making these changes? ... View more

Privacy, GDPR, invoicing and address lists

I belong to a camera club which uses PayPal to invoice our members when their annual subscription is due, this obviously involves PayPal holding members' email addresses. One member has raised the question asking whether this passing of email addresses from us to PayPal contravenes GDPR - guidance would be really appreciated, especially if it carries any legal references. ...

Splitting account

We have a charity account which receives payments to several different departments. Is there a way that transactions for the different departments can be automatically split within PayPal so that all transactions for Dept A will show separately from Dept B for instance? They will also need to be shown separately on reports with reports for the individual departments being required. ... View more

Payments claimed back by purchasers

I belong to a photographic society that runs an annual photographic exhibition. Basically, photographers from around the world submit images to be judged in the hope that they will be one of the 25% or so images that are accepted for the exhibition, for which they pay an entry fee through PayPal. There are many such exhibitions worldwide and I have heard this weekend of one disgruntled entrant in another exhibition who had none of his images accepted, so claimed all of his entry fee back through PayPal. Is there any way that this kind of "claw back" can be blocked so that someone aggrieved that their images weren't to the selectors liking, can't just go back into PayPal and get their money back? ...

PayPal fee surcharges

‎Jul-22-2017 01:57 PM
The UK Government proposes banning the charging of surcharges to cover credit card and PayPal fees from January 2018. Does this mean that PayPal will be stopping charging account holders/sellers being charged fees or will they continue to charge them. ... View more

How do I include a hyperlink in an email which will allow the recipient to just click the hyperlink and be taken straight to the PayPal page to make the required payment, for example                     To pay the outstanding postage cost please follow this link. I don't want to use buttons, just a simple link   ... View more
