Every once in a while you may want to find a buyer’s email address on Paypal because for some reason the email notification you get from Paypal doesn’t have it. This is true, for example, when somebody uses your paypal.me link. Unlike nearly all other, if not all other, payment notifications which you get from Paypal, when somebody sends you money through your paypal.me link, the notification doesn’t include the payor’s email address. Now, of course, you can log into Paypal, go to “all transactions”, and search for the transaction, but that takes a whole bunch of steps, and is a hassle if you have to do it more than occasionally. Plus you can’t search for it by email address, because hey, if you had that you wouldn’t need to be searching! Here’s how to go directly to that transaction’s page and avoid a few steps.

Need to change a payment method on Facebook, cancel a Facebook payment on Paypal, or just find your Facebook payment settings so that you can revoke and remove a credit card, debit card, or Paypal account? It is so frustrating when you are trying to remove a payment card, Paypal access, or other payment method from a service to which you had previously given it, only to be unable to find where and how to do it, even though they made it so very easy to give that payment information to them in the first place. Here’s how to find your payment methods on Facebook so that you can revoke and remove them.

Do a search for anything resembling “Paying for my own purchases in Apple family sharing” or “How to use my own credit card for app store purchases as a family sharing member?” and you are likely to get discouraged; the vast majority of sites, including Apple’s own, say that basically you can’t do it. Or they tell you that you can, but you need an Apple gift card to do it. Neither of these are accurate. You can pay for your own purchases, using your own credit card or debit card, even when you are on someone else’s Apple Family Sharing plan, you just need to know how to do it, and it just takes a little bit of pre-planning.

Got that frustrating eBay message “One or more sellers can’t accept payments right now. Contact the sellers for help”? This may be why.

Here’s our “plain-english, foolproof, layperson’s guide to setting up, sending, and receiving money using Google Pay, that is not financial advice”. Couldn’t think of a catchier name, but hey – it gets the job done.

Here is how to revoke authorization for a merchant to charge your Paypal account, and how to cancel recurring payments to a vendor or service.

Paypal Working Capital is Paypal’s business loan service where you repay the loan by Paypal taking a percentage of every payment you receive until the loan is paid off. But what if you want to make a single manual payment or an extra payment on your Paypal Working Capital loan using a credit card or bank account?

If you are like so many other people, you may have agreed to a recurring charge (‘subscription’) from within an app such as Bumble, Tinder, Nomorobo, or other app, and then completely forgot about it (that would be the ‘set it and forget it’ that these apps count on), only to be reminded of it when you get an email reminder like the below. And now you want to know how to change or cancel that subscription, but the ‘helpful’ reminder is silent on that point.

If you have ever used the Payloadz service, you may be wondering how to cancel your Payloadz account. In fact, Payloadz doesn’t explain anywhere on the Payloadz.com site how to cancel their service, and contacting them may not even help. They just keep billing you every month through Paypal. And that, in fact, is the key. So here’s how to cancel the Payloadz service (and also how to cancel any Paypal recurring subscription payment).

Sick of scrounging change for the parking meter, or having to remember to feed the meter or parking station? Then you will love the mobile parking meter app ParkMobile. The ParkMobile app is a mobile parking payment app that lets you pay for parking – and reload your meter – from your smartphone.

The ParkMobile app is really convenient – mobile parking payment and mobile parking meter monitoring are awesome. What isn’t so convenient is that there is no printed list of locations that use the ParkMobile mobile parking app! There is a map, with tagged locations, but that is not nearly so useful as a good old-fashioned list. So, here is a list of ParkMobile Zones locations.

If you got a “reminder” from Paypal that you still need to claim a payment from someone, there is a very good chance that it is legitimate, and not a scam. This seems to be triggered mostly when you get a payment from another country, in another currency.

If you have reason to send money by Paypal to anyone in India – or if you are someone in India needing to receive money via Paypal – well, you may be out of luck, unless you can legitimately claim that the funds sent by Paypal are not for personal use, but, rather, are a business transaction for the purchase of goods. That is because Paypal has suspended all personal payments to India, and has even taken the radical step of reversing some personal Paypal payments to people in India that were already paid (leaving the hapless recipient with a negative balance), all at the demand of the Indian government, over concern that funds earmarked as ‘personal’ may actually be money being sent home by Indian citizens working overseas (known as a “remittance”).
