Hello,  I'd like to create a button with 3 amount options, which I've seen in some websites but when I enter to my Paypal page I can only create "any amount" or "an exact amount" but no three options. I'll be grateful if you can give me a hint on how to do that.  Thanks!  Laura ... View more

Hello, As a result of the coronavirus situation, I'm stuck away from the USA until who knows when. I need to make some bucks and I'm about to apply for a PayPal business account (already been having my personal Paypal for many many years). I just don't want to have my personal name inscribed in every invoice or paypal.me which advertise my name and last name when the customer receives the request for payment. So I do need a business name to send customers a real invoices with my business name. The problem is that being away from the country, I can't set up a business account in my bank, I would have to be there to sign up all the paperwork and stuff. So my simple question is: if I create a Paypal Business account with a Business name (other than my personal name, of course), would I be able to link this account to my personal bank account so the money earned is transferred to my personal bank account? Would that work for a while, until I get back home and then I open a business bank account? I'll be grateful for any advice. Thanks in advance.  ... View more

Hi there! I received $100.00 from a friend on November 15. My friend just wrote me saying that her Paypal account shows her payment "pending". I believe I got the money, that's showing in my account. So why she has it pending? Do I need to click on something in order to really get the money?  ... View more

I'm in New York and I want to send money to someone in London. The exact amount is £499 pounds. However, the receiver wants me to send him £519, that is, he is adding 4% (£20) as he said this is what he will be charged by PayPal.  I haven't sent him the money yet because I want to be sure who is paying for what and that there won' be duplicate fees. The reason is because when I set Paypal for sending  him money, the screen shows "Recipient gets" £519 (it doesn't say "Recipient gets" £499). It seems to me that he'll get the full amount. (See screenshot image, I just erased his email) Also in the screen it shows that Paypal would charge me 4% in conversion rate (the current conversion dollar/pound is 0.71 and Paypal's rate is 0.68.)  If Paypal charges twice (for conversion and for whatever fee), they are getting away with 8%. That's good business for Paypal! Is that what happens?  (Note: When I click the "send money" tab I don't see the choice "for friends" or "for goods". After adding the email of this person it directs me straight to the page of conversion) I will appreciate anyone who can educate me in this matter,  Thank you Laura ... View more

A payment I made using my bank account is still pending after 24 hours. Can I change the payment to my credit card to speed up the transaction? I am afraid I will lose the product if the payment stays "pending" for much longer. I am really worried. Thanks for any help you can provide. ... View more
