PayPal Community

First off, they don't monitor this forum.   I've been with PayPal for 17 years, been with a few others at the same time. The others have been shut down, or been scams or cheated people out of money or just closed for no reason without notice, or changed ownership and name change over and over. I've been lucky and never lost any money to any of them, but many people lost thousands with some of them.   I've never lost a dime with PayPal. Though I don't always agree with things they change on the site, I trust them completely. Learn the new site, it's not that hard. After awhile you'll forget about the classic veiw and get on with this one just the same. Change isn't always easy at first.   I prefer the classic also, but am learning the new one, it's not so bad. It's like learning anything else, it take time to perfect it. I trust PayPal. ... View more

As much as I dislike the new graphic display I haven't found a better option for credit card payments.  I use PayPal Here and it is the only Android app that works with a bluetooth printer.  The PayPal Here inventory also uses bar code.  Square for in-person payments does not have a bluetooth printer option for Android, nor bar codes. I like FirstData, but the smartphone app is really bad, and no printing receipts. ... View more

In short: you can't.   I just got off the phone with PayPal, and the 64-year-old woman was quite empathetic and agreed with my complaints, but unfortunately the days of opting out are GONE.   You can temporarily view the page you are on in classic mode by clicking on the "Classic Site" button at the bottom left of the page, but it doesn't stick. The instant you click on any menu option, you are back in the new iPhone version.   It's all large icons, large type, and lots of white space. Nothing is where it used to be. What's worse is that the dropdown navigation menu across the top, which was in effect a site map that listed all functions of PayPal, a great resource if you weren't sure where to go, is now GONE. You have to hunt for where things are now located. Things that were a single click from the front page are now 2 and 3 clicks deep to get to, even if you know where they are. I guess I'll be spending the rest of the night trying to find things I used to know where to find. ... View more
