It will then accept GBP payments without trouble. You can make the GPB balance primary if you like but it isn't neccessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything goes eventually through their main site. If I go to Paypal Netherlands it redirects to paypal.com/nl. It might though because I created my account once on paypal.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheeloftime Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 ok im getting desperate i think i tried everything i must be doing something wrong <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How have you setup your Paypal account ? Do you have a balance for both currencies or at least one for GBP ? Show the screenshot and let's see if that makes it more clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheeloftime Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> simon, This is clear but how have you set up your Paypal currency balances ? Also which Paypal module do you use with osC and have you made any changes which could affect Paypal payments ? I assume the one and only currency in your shop is GBP and that is what is send to Paypal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
