Paypal question

[Jarney]

Hey guys,
I have 2 email addresses with my Paypal account. One is used to log in with and the other is set as my "Primary" email address - where paypal sends me notices, transaction updates, etc. So if somebody wanted to send me a payment, which one would I tell them to send it to? Thanks. Later.

I would imagine it woud be your primary one...Where you get all the info regarding paypal from paypal...That should be the one that you can view your account info and transaction info...

try logging in to paypal with the primary address

Send me some money from both addresses and I'll let you know which one works

ZLMark, thanks all-mighty-cult-leader. That worked, so I guess it probably doesn't matter which one is sent. We'll see.

Kawboy, you should be a freakin' comedian - hahahaha...... I don't think so........

Thanks guys. Later.

Ok, not sure what the deal is, but I've tried sending both of my addresses out so payment could be made and neither one worked. I've looked all over Paypal and can't see anything wrong - unless I'm just missing something altogether. Anyway, I'm going to try the Request Money/invoice thing next and see if that will work. Thanks for the help guys. Later.

Well, the Request Money thing worked. Not sure why sending my email addys didn't but at least this way seems to work - unfortunately I guess there is a small fee (3% + .30 or something like that real close I remember reading) involved when doing it this way. Later.

usually when you use pay pal for a transaction the buyer or sender of money does not pay any transactions fee. The seller or receiver of money is the one who pays the fee's.

 

[Jarney]

Yep, I was the seller or receiver. Later.

one option you may be able to do is set up your account as if you do business. this would enable you to choose a lower percentage for their fees.
