Re: Paypal Transaction: Received an Email for Payp...

Hi MikeOKH,   Welcome to the community.    A good rule of thumb to follow is to verify all transactions you receive on your PayPal account as all incoming transactions are reflected there. Even if the funds are, for some reason, held or pended, the receipt of the funds will show on your account. That being said, should you receive an email which looks fraudulent, I would recommend not clicking on any links contained therein or respond to it in any way. Simply have it forwarded to spoof@paypal.com and our security experts will investigate. 🙂   Hope that helps!   -Ivan ... View more

Hi Housen,   I'm apologize for the trouble you've faced in trying to reach out Customer Service folks.   That said, a good way to verify the authenticity of those emails would be to simply log in to your PayPal account to see if there really is a limitation on it. I would recommend, if you ever have doubts over the authenticity of any emails purporting to be from us, not clicking on any links included in the email and simply log in to your PayPal account from the home page directly. All the information regarding the status of your account, any limitations on it and how to resolve those limitations will be available in the Resolution Center within your PayPal account.   Hope that helps! 🙂   -Ivan ...

Hi Vini3,   Welcome to the Community!   Unfortunately, accepting payments directly via a customers credit card is not a feature that we generally offer in some markets. That being said, your customers will have no issues using those cards to send you payments once they create an account and have their cards attached to their PayPal account. Hope that makes sense. 🙂   -Ivan ... View more

Hi Husnil24,   Welcome to the Community!   That's a very good question. When you integrate PayPal onto your site, it will come with a "Signup Now" at the stage where your customer's would log in. Also, customers in some regions are also able to fund payments with a bank account and/or a debit card. In those cases, a credit card would be unnecessary altogether. 🙂   -Ivan ... View more

Hello adenshop!   There's quite a bit of information available throughout the "Getting Started" section of our forum. You might want to check those threads out and then give us a little more specific information of the aspects of starting an online business which you may find most challenging. That way the Community can help you better. 🙂   -Ivan ... View more

Hi IWANTOherman79,   Welcome to the Community!   Its great to hear that your expanding to the international market. While these opens the doors to a wealth of opportunity, you might want to do some research into how these foreign markets differ from your home market and target your goods/services or even your site if you're planning to have local versions of your site, to suit these markets.   Solutions tailored to the individual markets, which take into account the cultural preferences and sensitivities of each of your target markets, I foresee, will help increase your relevance and hence popularity in these markets. 🙂 All the best. The world's your oyster! 🙂   -Ivan ... View more
