How to use PayPal 12-16-2012, 11:07 PM

First off you will need a PayPal (PP), if you do not have one go here. Now then let's log in and go to our "My Account" screen:
On this screen you can find an overview of your account. My account accepts payment in the form of USD and CAD. Therefore, I can see the amount of each form I have in my account. This is meaningless if we don't know how to send money. So let's click the "Send Money" tab in the green box.
Now this should be self explanatory. You type in the PP email in the "To" box, and the amount in the "Amount" box. So now you know how to send to other PP accounts and what to tell them so they can pay you. Except what if they don't have a PP to send you funds with. Then we must set-up a donate button under the "Merchant Serveces" tab in the green box.
Now let's click the link in the green box again. I will document the steps of making the button in the pictures.
Now we will end on a Page with all our information for either emailing it or using it as a sig. Don't worry if you forget any of this as it is in your saved buttons. This kind of website code will not work on AF. You'll just have to post the email link and hope for the best. If you'd like to test out the donating feature go here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cm...NTPHVY9VCU
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
