Sticky... nice job. Loving the pics.

Nice guide. I never knew about the $500 limit though, how does that work when people buy used guns for more than $500?

Yes, you have $500 limit when receiving money on a personal account. Once you go over $500 in a month, paypal will automatically upgrade you to premier or business. The bad thing is you get charged fee's when receiving money. Basically if you plan to buy & sell online, your better off going with a premier account.

Can you add like those already charged credit card things from like 7-11 onto your PayPal? That's the only way I'd be able to join the Player's Club

Mike is short for Michael. Your payment went to the right person.

Since I live in Canada I was just wondering how the exchange rate would effect how much money I send for the player's club fee. I think in one of your picture I saw the option to choose the currency I was sending. Does that mean I could select 30 dollars American and as long as I have enough Canadian money to cover the exchange?

How do you receive money?

Someone sends money to your account using your email address you assigned with Paypal.

Thank you so much for this guide. paypal was a mystesry to me until now. but i do have one question. if you are using a prepaid credit card for paypal, will recieved money go directly to the credit card?


thanks, NJP

[CdnNinja]

I have a question. Say I have a basic account and I want to spend over 500 dollars on something. Will it still let me send the payment and just automatically upgrade my account later?

Any money being received will be deposited into your Paypal Account.

It should only upgrade your account if you receive more than $500 a month.

Oh, Okay. That's so very awesome.

Thank you!
