Yep, paypal does not have your back if an issue arises. I have been with paypal since the beginning and have lost a few thousand so far. Once on a buyer scam who said he never received the item. Now it was simply a check I had sent to myself to cash. I had an issue with it since it had a business name on it and the bank did not except it. Normally you would then just cancel the check and send another. Paypal is unable to do this. Support gets baffled by what would be a simple common procedure at any bank. As a result your money is lost. Paypal checks are essentially the equivalent of sending cash in the mail. In the end Paypal gets your money or at best you wait weeks or months before they remedy what they consider a complicated situation.  ... View more

Bank Rejected Paypal Check

My bank rejected my paypal check since it was written to my business name instead of my name. What do I do? Paypal lists the check as complete in the summary. Will paypal notice that the check was not cashed and how long will this take to remedy? Will paypal ignore all of this and make it difficult for me to get my money? It is for $2500. Can I just cancel the check and get a new one like you would at a bank? ... View more

Re: Switching to PayPay Extra Mastercard from PayP...

This happened to me years ago and I am still feeling the effects today. I was relying on that credit history to keep my credit score up. I am sooo **bleep** paypal has done this to me, but not surprised. I have been burned MANY times by paypal in the past. The frustrating part of upgrading is that I declined upgrading in the past because I read the fine print about it closing out my old card. However, paypal was too persistent with it and when I received a call it was worded different and I excepted the upgrade. Right when I got off the phone I realized what I just did. My advise to you at this point is to cancel your paypal card. You have no choice. The short credit history will make things worse, ON TOP of losing the 9 year history. Paypal sucks. Period.  ...

Setting up Express Checkout with Return URL

I am unsure of how to set up express checkout with the return url. I just want to redirect to a page after the customer pays. I am able to do this with a simple button that redirects to paypal --I can just set autoreturn in paypal. However when using the express checkout code with the pop up nothing happens after the payment.   In the docs it mentions getting the dg.js script from paypal but does not give a link to this file. Do I need to pay for this?   Is there a way to simply have the buyer go to a page after they pay, using the express checkout overlay box? Here is my code:   <script src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/api/checkout.js"></script> <script>     paypal.Button.render({         env: 'production', // Or 'sandbox'         client: {             sandbox:    'xxxxx',             production: 'xxxxx'         },         commit: true, // Show a 'Pay Now' button         payment: function(data, actions) {             return actions.payment.create({                 payment: {                     transactions: [                         {                             amount: { total: '0.01', currency: 'USD' }                         }                     ]                 },                  experience: {                     input_fields: {                         no_shipping: 1                     }                 },                 redirect_urls: { return_url: 'https:pacinst.org/wordwater.org/thank-you'}                            });         },         onAuthorize: function(data, actions) {             // Get the payment details             return actions.payment.get().then(function(paymentDetails) {                 // Show a confirmation using the details from paymentDetails                 // Then listen for a click on your confirm button                 document.querySelector('#confirm-button')                     .addEventListener('click', function() {                     // Execute the payment                     return actions.payment.execute().then(function() {                         // Show a success page to the buyer                     });                 });             });           if (error === 'INSTRUMENT_DECLINED') {                 actions.restart();             }                      }     }, '#paypal-button'); </script>                              <div class="page-content">                     <?php the_content(); ?>                     <?php cpotheme_post_pagination(); ?>                 </div>   <div id="paypal-button"></div>   ...
