Hallo Paypal-Community, ich habe vor wenigen Minuten einen kuriosen Anruf gehabt.

We noticed the upgrade when our payments started losing money to fees, with no way to pay fee-free "friends and family" anymore.

Key Insights

Should I be worried and how do I report these activities? PayPal accepts Visa, MC, Amex, or Discover prepaid gift cards and you link them to PayPal Wallet page like you would a debit or credit card. You cannot apply the amount on the card to your PayPal balance as cash. You can't login at live checkout flow using sandbox account. Double check whether the checkout flow is sandbox (sandbox.paypal.com) or live (paypal.com).
