This is NOT helpful! On my computer (in 2021, I gave the date because things have clearly changed!) there is NO "cog" or "gear" icon AT ALL. there is ONLY a LOG OUT button to push, from the drop down menu that pops up from my little Icon in the top Right side of the screen.  I'm not on a phone but on a laptop. Maybe this makes a difference, but it shouldn't; by this time ALL platforms should reflect pretty much the same layout and functioning. =-(! Pay Pal has made it impossible to even shut down my own account!   Weep with me for we have created HELL not heaven with our technologies!       ... View more

Hello, Can anyone at all help me out please? I have had Pay Pal for far to long and have been unable to use it at all. I am a single stay at home person and not a huge company. I initially set up an account with this place to receive payments for pieces of artwork I was trying to sell online at various websites. This never worked out, but I still have a "Business" account, even though I'm very much NOT a business and have never registered as a business in any way shape or form.   Now I'm wanting to accept a few payments from friends (gifts of money & whatnot, kinda like giftcards but "easier" according to them) through this site, but it's NOT easier, nor is it working out. X-P! I've oddly been able to actually PAY a few businesses through my account here, but I am now unable to ACCEPT money through this site. I don't know WHY. On top of this, this place allowed me to set up a new "Account" here, under a new E-Mail & everything. It let me know that this was okay, oddly enough; using the same Bank Account. Well, now I have 3 E-Mails connected to this site & yet I can't set up separate profiles for my different online "businesses" that I have. (All of which aren't businesses at all yet. I'm just hopeful so far =*-(! ) It's grouping them all together as "Business" accounts, instead of One Personal, and the other two as "Business" Accounts (and really I want to remove one account and leave the other one. ... Either way this is all confusing as all get out and I'm also totally unable to even find a link that I can copy and paste so that people can donate to me if they ever want to. Along with this, I'm unable to set up separate pages/faces for my two (or actually 3) different accounts on here. I'm about to shut it all down and leave entirely. Please help! Thank you. =***-(!!!!!!! Violet ... View more

LOST! Pasting a "Buy Now!" Button into Facebook Pa...

Okay, I'm tearing my hair out here, all I want to do is add a "Buy Now!" Button to the individual items I'm selling on my Facebook Pages, but for the LIFE of me I can't get my hands on even the information to do something as "simple and easy" as that. I can't figure out where I'm supposed to paste the HTML or even how to get to the page where I paste HTML. I'm a total computer idiot, I have NO idea about HTML or anything and I'm just so darn lost! help! Please! *weeps!* Thank You to anyone who answers this. P.S. - I'll post screen shots if it helps. I DON'T have a store front and I'm not a business (as far as I know) on Facebook, but NONE of the words/buttons/links/ drop down menus etc. that others seem to have exist for me on my Facebook Page. All I want to do is sell my artworks, but just doing that is turning into such a time wasting hassle I NEED to Give the F Up! >X-P!   Instead as a last ditch resort I'm here begging for help. =-(! If it helps at all here's a link to one of my pages, <removed> this is what I'm selling (or at least trying to) and I just realized I've got to get on the ball and add a PayPal "Buy Now" button, or I'm **bleep**! =*-(!!!!!!! ...
