How to Use PayPal Storefront


1. Sign into PayPal Storefront. Use your PayPal email and password. If you don't have a PayPal account, you'll need to set up one before using Storefront.
2. Select your decorations, title and policies for your Storefront widget. You can also add a logo, if you have an image that's 60 by 35 pixels. Your policies include how you ship products, how customers can contact you and anything else you'd like a customer to know about you and your products.
3. Add your product details. Click on the "Products" tab to open up the products page. Here you can give a title to the product you're selling, in addition to setting its price and giving some information about it. You can add a picture, but it should be 188 by 168 pixels and it should be hosted somewhere else--on a free photo site such as Flickr or Photobucket. Paste the photo's URL in the box labeled "Picture of Product."
4. Add your inventory information. The inventory page has options to add sizes, for example, if you're selling T-shirts. Beyond that, you can show how much of any product you have in stock so people can't continue buying a product if it's sold out. This is the place where you should provide special shipping information or specific notes about the product.
5. Add the rest of your products. Press the "+" button to add a new product and repeat the last two steps until you've added everything you need to add.
6. Set your shipping rates. Click on the "Shipping" tab to bring this up. You can make a tiered shipping-rate system, perhaps lowering the shipping rate as more money is spent.
7. Open your store. Click the "Store Open" tab and make sure that your store is open.
8. Publish your Storefront. Click on the "Publish" tab to bring up your options. If you have a MySpace account or a TypePad account, you can choose one of these sites from the list, and Storefront automatically publishes to your MySpace page or TypePad blog. Otherwise you can copy the HTML code that's given to you and paste it into your own website.
9. Update your Storefront as you add stock or change policies.

How to Rent a Car With a PayPal Debit Card


1. Call the rental car company in advance or review their policies online to make sure that they accept Paypal debit cards. The majority of companies that accept bank-issued debit cards will also accept Paypal, but make sure before you begin the rental process.
2. Review Paypal's policy concerning debit card usage. Paypal will hold the funds associated with a transaction for approximately 5 business days in order to give the merchant time to claim the funds. If the funds are not claimed, the hold is released, but the merchant still has 30 days from the original transaction date to claim the funds.
3. Read the rental agreement carefully. Many rental car companies also place temporary holds greater than the amount of the transaction on customer's debit cards to cover any damages that may occur during the rental period. Take note of the total amount to be charged to your card, and when the hold on any additional funds will be released.
