How to Cancel a PayPal Order
1. Go to the PayPal website and log into your personal or business account. This should take you to the 'My Account' overview page. If it doesn't, click the 'My Account' link at the top of the page.
2. Click on the 'History' link located across from the overview tab. Scroll through the list of transactions until you find the transaction you want to cancel.
3. Click the cancel link next to the transaction, in the 'order status' column. Click 'cancel payment' to complete the transaction. If you do not see a cancel link next to the transaction, this means that the payment has already been received, or claimed, by the recipient and the order can no longer be canceled. You must then contact the recipient to ask for a refund.
4. If the above steps are unsuccessful, open a dispute and follow the resolution process in the PayPal Resolution Center to try and work things out with the seller. If you're still unsuccessful, you can file a claim with PayPal by logging into your PayPal account and clicking on the 'Resolution Center' tab. Find the case number for the dispute and click on it. Choose how you would like to handle the claim under the 'More Options' tab and follow the directions provided. Once a dispute has been opened, you have 20 days to file a claim with PayPal.
How to Create a PayPal Page for a Website
1. Log in to your PayPal account and click the 'Merchant Services' tab.
2. Click a button type and follow the prompts to create your selected button. Options include 'Add to Cart,' 'Buy Now,' 'Donate,' 'Gift Certificate,' 'Subscribe' and 'My Saved Buttons.'
3. Enter your shipping specifications and tax rate percentage and then choose an email address where you want PayPal transaction notices sent. Click the 'Create Button' when done.
4. Click the 'Website' tab and copy the code that creates your PayPal button on your website.
5. Launch your text editor and open the desired Web page(s). Add the page source information to your page(s) (if they are not already created) and then locate the area where you want your button to appear. Paste in your button code from step 4 and save your file.
6. Place your page file(s) on your Web host to activate your buttons. When a visitor clicks this feature, she is taken to a secure PayPal page that allows her to complete her transaction. PayPal notifies you of this activity by sending an email to the address that you specified in Step 3.
How to Increase a PayPal Withdrawal Limit
1. Log in to PayPal. Click 'My Account,' then click 'Profile.' Click 'My Money' from the left pane under 'My Profile.' New content will appear on the right side of the page.
2. Verify either your bank account or credit and debit card by clicking the blue 'Update' link next to either option. Although the verification process varies depending on what type of bank account you're using or if you choose a credit card, you will need to fill in all fields on the verification page. PayPal will inform you how to complete the verification process, which usually involves logging in to your bank account from PayPal or confirming PayPal deposits or charges to your account. You will only incur a charge if you attempt to verify your credit card, and the charge will be reversed.
3. Click 'View Limits' at the top left of your page under the blue tabs. Click the yellow 'Lift Limits' button. A message onscreen will confirm your limits have been lifted. You can then withdraw your money by clicking the 'Withdraw' button.

How to Sign Up for PayPal
Sign Up for PayPal
1. Determine what type of PayPal account you need. There are three main types of accounts: a personal account for use with online shopping, a premier account for use with periodically selling online (such as on eBay) in addition to shopping, and a business account for business owners who do a majority of their commerce online.
2. Have a valid email address to use as your PayPal ID. All PayPal-related correspondence and financial transactions will be tied to this address. You may add up to five email addresses to your account, but you will need to designate one as a primary address.
3. Decide whether you want to have your PayPal account tied to a credit card or a bank account and have the account information at hand. Every PayPal account must be attached to some sort of already-established financial information.
