How Much Money Can I Fund My PayPal Account Using MoneyPak?

PayPal
PayPal was designed to make online purchasing and money transfers easy and safe for consumers. The company allows users to send and receive money from almost any where in the world. Users also have the option of linking their debit or credit card to increase the amount they can transfer, or as a back-up method when their PayPal funds are low, or do not cover the total cost of a transaction. PayPal users can use their account to buy directly from online retailers. There is no cost to open a PayPal account.
MoneyPak Limit
PayPal account holders can add money directly to their account via money transfer, a bank account, debit or credit or by using a MoneyPak. If you use a MoneyPak, the maximum amount that you can add to your account is $250 a year, as of 2011. This amount can be increased to $2,000 a month if you verify your identity by providing your name, address, date of birth and Social Security number online. This type of verification is often required to prevent those with dishonest intentions from illegally transferring money from one country to another.
Benefits
Using a MoneyPak to add funds to your PayPal account can provide you with a certain degree of security. When you make an online purchase, you are using only the funds in your PayPal account. This means that your credit or debit card information is not accessible to those who may be in a position to misuse them. Likewise, the retailer with whom your purchase is transacted, only has access to the amount of money in your PayPal account, which means that you cannot be excessively overcharged or receive unwanted continuous billing.
Re-loading
MoneyPaks can be purchased at almost any major retailer, including pharmacies, convenience stores and grocery stores. One MoneyPak costs approximately $4.95 or less, as of 2011. The value on the MoneyPak card can be added to you PayPal account by logging in and selecting the 'add funds' tab. Funds from your MoneyPak card immediately appear in your account and can be used the same day.

How to Accept Donations Through PayPal

1. If you do not already have a PayPal account, visit the PayPal website to sign up for free. You will need to supply your email address, which will be used to log into your account, as well as your personal information. This includes your first and last name, business or charitable organization if applicable, and your address, phone number and Social Security number. If you are setting up a donation fund for a charity, you will also need to provide proof of your charity's 501(c)(3) or Section 509(a) status, and you may also be asked to divulge your charity's exemption identification number.After checking your email to confirm the creation of your new account, you can then log in and start using your account. You will need to provide your, or your charity's, bank account information so you can transfer donations from your PayPal account, and a credit card to verify your account to lift your account's monetary limitations.
2. Once you have signed up and logged in, click the "Merchant Services" tab. Here, you will find a section where you can create a new donation button. You can type in your organization or charity's name in the first box. If you are creating a button for a charity, and want to give donators your charity ID number, you can also include that here.If you want to use the standard PayPal donation button, you do not need to make any changes with the button wizard. If you would rather upload your own custom donation button, or you want to customize other aspects of your donation button -- such as what link donators are redirected to after donating -- you can use the button wizard to do so.
3. There are two options you can choose for your donation button: a fixed amount, or a fill-in amount. A fixed amount means you choose what amount of money can be donated by clicking the donation button; most donators would shy away from this option, and it can lose you a lot of smaller donations you would have otherwise received. Instead, most people choose the fill-in amount option, which allows each donator to specify the amount to donate.
4. When you are done customizing your button, click "Create Button." You will be redirected to a new page, where you will find the code for your PayPal donation button. To select the button code, click inside the code box and press "Ctrl" and "A," then "Ctrl" and "C." The code will then be copied to your clipboard. You can paste the code on your website, blog or profile, wherever you want the button to be displayed. Press "Ctrl" and "V" to paste the code, and remember to save your changes.Once your button has been added to your website or blog, donators can click the button and start contributing money to your cause any time they want. Donations will be deposited directly into your PayPal account -- minus any applicable fees, if donations are made by credit card or check -- and you can then transfer donations directly into the bank account you have on file with PayPal.

If the supplier shows a PayPal logo, you can pay with any of your PayPal financial products, including your PayPal account balance and your PayPal buyer credit. If the PayPal logo is absent, you can select the MasterCard payment option and then use your PayPal debit or credit card.
