As a rule of thumb, Pa yp al sees EVERYTHING you provide them. You have a website for which you use Pa yp al? Yeah Pp knows all about the site.

Surely i can cloak the link, if you can do that to cpa companys you can do with pp. Cpa companys look to see were your traffic comes from and you can cloak that so im sure you can cloak it from pp aswell. Anyone done this before ?

Hide the link so they dont know were the click is coming from. You can hide your traffic. Has anyone else tryed this with pp ?

Yes, PayPal does track this information so it's best you cloak your links or use a 3rd party shopping cart to do it for you.

Hi Aspkin thats good to know. Iv been doing some reading online and cant get a clear answer, would a simple url shortener cloak the link for me ? as i see some of them count how many times your link has been clicked etc.

What sort of website?

Do you mean donations or a shopping cart?

chris187 · #9 04-15-2011

I dont have a shopping cart, you can go to pp and go to merchant services and then create links for your products that your selling, write in what your selling and they will create a link.

I then add the links to my website so people can then buy from me. Before i add the links this time im going to cloak them. If anyone can confirm that url shorteners cloak your link then im ready to go.

Do people actually pay by this method, have you tried it?

I don't think I would, as it screams out problems

I don't know I would possibly just use a shopping cart and add Nochex or one of the others that work as a third party.

What difference would it make if they could follow the link, as the no link may just raise flags. But then again this is paypal.

I dont think you get it, they are going on to my site and clicking a buy it now button as normal. The buyers wont even know the link is cloaked. They will be sent to pp to pay as normal.
