How to Use PayPal with DeviantART


1. Browse the deviantART site. Locate a piece or pieces of art that you want to purchase.
2. Look at the art listing to see whether the artist's e-mail is listed. If it is not, send a message to the artist and let her know that you require her e-mail address for a Paypal purchase. You might want to do this in all cases, on the off chance that the e-mail address listed by the artist is not the e-mail address associated with her Paypal account.
3. Sign in to your Paypal account. Click on the tab that says 'Send Money.' Fill out the form with the e-mail address of the artist and the agreed-upon price. Choose the type of currency from the drop-down menu.
4. Make sure the 'Goods' radio button is selected. Click the 'Continue' button. Do not hit the 'Send Money' button on the next page.
5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Fill out the 'Email to recipient' box; be sure to include your deviantART user name and the name, number or description of the piece you are purchasing. Click the 'Send Money' button at the very bottom, and you are finished.

How to Determine PayPal Fees


1. Log into your PayPal account and click on the link that says 'History.'
2. Scroll down the page to see each of your account transactions. Scroll to the right to view the fee for each transaction and the actual amount that gets deposited after the fee is deducted. You want to be sure you are recording these fees for tax purposes at the end of the year. PayPal fees are an operating expense.
3. Monitor other fees that you pay to PayPal through the history section of your account. If you take money out of your PayPal account through an ATM service you are charged PayPal fees as well as the fee that you pay to the bank that owns the ATM. If you request PayPal send you checks to withdraw money from the account you are being assessed a fee for that as well.
4. Sign up for the Seller's Report at eBay auctions if your customers are paying you for goods sold on eBay. The Seller's Report is a free service offered by eBay that will track and total your eBay and PayPal fees for each month that you do business.
5. Keep your own records of your PayPal fees and what they add up to each month if you sell on your own website or a site other than eBay.

How to Add a Custom Button to PayPal


1. Create the custom image for the PayPal order button. The merchant can make a custom image with an image editor like PhotoShop or find a Web designer to create an image by using a directory of Web designers (visit xemion.com).

Click on the "Upload" link and upload the custom image to make the new file. PayPal will incorporate the Web address of this new file into the button code when the merchant makes the button.

The "Buyer's View" window to the right displays only buttons with the PayPal images, so do not worry if the custom image does not appear in that window.
6. Fill out the other information in the button maker. Click "Create Button" at the bottom to complete the process and get the code for the custom button.
7. Copy the website code on the next page. Paste that code into the order page on the website. Email marketers can also use the email code to incorporate the button into sales emails.

How to How Transfer Money Using PayPal


1. Set up an account at the PayPal website (paypal.com). All you need is an email address. The person to whom you are sending the money must also have a PayPal account to receive the funds.
2. Sign into your PayPal account and decide how you want to send the money. If you already have a PayPal account, you may have a balance from which you can withdraw. If not, click the "My Account" tab, hover over "Profile" and add your bank account or credit card if you haven't done so already.
3. Click the "Send Money" tab once you have input your information. Place the recipient's email address or cellphone number in the first input box and how much you want to transfer in the second. Choose the currency you are using and click the appropriate radio button for the type of purchase it is. Click "Continue."
4. Choose your payment method on the Review Your Payment page. Scroll down to Payment Method and click "Change." Enter a personal message if you want and then click "Send Money." Your transaction is complete.

How to Send Money to Tunisia


1. Determine how much money will be sent. The amount of money sent will determine the processing fees charged by most money transfer facilitators. The Tunisian government requires all amounts over USD$10,000 to be reported to authorities.
2. Find the location of a money transfer service. Sending money from a money transfer office is typically cheaper than sending it via the Internet. PayPal and Western Union allow money to be sent to people in Tunisia via their websites. If sending money online, simply follow the instructions on the website of the service of your choice. Moneygram, on the other hand, requires the sender to visit a MoneyGram agent to complete the transaction. A visit to the company website will help you find the nearest agent. If you opt to send a wire transfer from your bank instead of using MoneyGram, PayPal or Western Union, simply visit your bank to complete the transaction.
3. Go to a money transfer office and fill out the necessary form. To use MoneyGram, a Send Form must be completed. Include the sender's name, the recipient's name and address, the amount to be sent and a 10-word message. The message will be shared by the sender with the intended recipient. The intended recipient will be asked a question based on the message and if it is answered correctly, will collect the money. At Western Union, the Send Form requires the following information: the sender's name, the recipient's name and address, the amount to be sent, and a test question and answer. The test question and answer are a security protocol to ensure that only the intended recipient can collect the money.
4. Hand over the completed Send Form to the teller with the money to be transferred. A processing fee will be charged and the teller will tell you how much. To complete the transaction, pay the teller and present a valid form of personal identification.
5. Receive a reference number from MoneyGram, or a Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) from Western Union. These numbers will help you track your transfer and will be used by the recipient to collect his money.

How to Sell E


Selling E-books using PayPal
1. Log in to PayPal. Search for the 'Merchant Services' button, which is located on the top banner. Click this button.
2. Click the 'Buy Now' button located under the 'Create Buttons' heading. Choose the 'products' option under the 'Accept payments for' tab. This indicates that e-books are the products being sold using PayPal.
3. Choose between the 'Add to cart' button and the 'Buy Now' buttons. The first example is for websites that have numerous products to choose from where as the secondary example is primarily focused on a singular product.
4. Write a product name and an ID that is easy to remember. The name and ID will show up on the customer's invoice. The name and ID can also be quite helpful when looking over and identifying purchase reports from PayPal.
5. Include the price of the e-book and select the proper currency. If there is only one e-book being sold, the next set of options for customization is irrelevant. Shipping is not needed either, as the e-book will be sent electronically. That section can also be avoided. Whether or not to charge tax is a personal option, but should be taken into consideration when taxes are due.
6. Click the secure option rather than the PayPal account. This is a security measure so that spam and hackers cannot easily access the PayPal information regarding purchases and monetary information.
7. Click the save button to save the PayPal button that has just been created. This could be helpful if a similar button is needed in the future. All of the preferences are then saved and can be edited at a later date if needed.
8. Avoid the next three PayPal options presented. They are irrelevant when the subject matter is an e-book. The link fields, however, are extremely important. This is the obligatory 'thank you' that the buyers will see after purchasing the e-book. This link should also provide buyers with a link to download the e-book they have just purchased. It is important that this link is not connected to a personal website, as the only method to access this website should be through PayPal and purchasing an e-book. If linked to other websites, individuals can simply access it and download the e-book without purchasing it first.
9. Click 'Create button'. PayPal will now give a code for the button that can be copied and pasted into a personal website. The code gives you the freedom to place the button where it looks the best.
