Paypal - Donate Button
 

For anyone who has used the Paypal Donate button... after everything has been verified, what are the chances of a Paypal account being Limited if receiving 50-100$ payments using the Donate Button?

How long is a piece of string?

Any account has the chance of a limitation

:juggle:

The problem is not only being limited but is also linking the 2 accounts.
If something strikes one of the 2 then... what will happen.

This way of proceeding is risky on a brand new account... less risky on aged accounts.

I have had a soft limitation after a donation of $10.00 to a registered Charity.

Shakes head at memory.

:mad:

...charity is the problem... Paypal doesn't know what that is.

@ilcarletto - Thanks for some type of insight of how they treat ppl using the donate button, I understand how paypal works just never knew if they we're more friendly to accounts receiving Donation Lol!!!

@GreenBean - Your 2nd post was better than your first post but not so helpful. I've been here for a while and notice you use that line alot "How long is a piece of string?" ... Answer? Im sure its only as long as its Length!!! now :focus:

My friend has the same button on his website for donations to his unregistered charity. I have not heard any problems yet.

Re: Paypal - Donate Button
 

Each account is his different - OP, what works for GoteBay's friend, may not work so well for you...

Now OP...are you trying to use donate as a means to get around fees....?

Re: Paypal - Donate Button
 

no there's no way around paypal fee's was just trying to see if Paypal is more friendly to accounts receiving "donations" so an account wont get a hard limitation but it seems its a gamble

Re: Paypal - Donate Button
 

That's why it's like finding the length of a piece of string ;)

paypal is so weird with how it treats accounts.

I have two accounts, made in the same month, but in different parts of the USA. Both are fully verified and confirmed.

I do 'mirror' transactions off ebay. Yet paypal treats them differently.

Weird... just like paypal

You could do an account to experiment if you're really interested - otherwise, the idea is flawed...not worth exploring
