they pay with a credit card. Users who have not confirmed their bank accounts with PayPal
can still send you money funded by credit cards.
Blocking Payments Funded By eChecks
You can block eCheck payments. Because eCheck payments take three to four business days
to clear, you might want to block them for your Instant Purchase and Buy Now buttons.
If you choose to block these payments, users who attempt to pay via eCheck are prompted to
add a credit card to their account before completing the transaction.
If you choose not to block these payments, you can receive eCheck payments through PayPal
Website Payments or Auction Logos. eCheck payments are listed as Pending and are not
credited to your PayPal account for three to four business days.
Adding Your Credit Card Statement Name
On the Payment Receiving Preferences page, you can specify the name that appears on your
customers’ credit card statements.
FIGURE 2.9 Adding a Credit Card Statement Name
When a buyer pays you by credit card, your credit card statement name appears with the word
PAYPAL* next to the charge on the statement (for example, PAYPAL*MYCCNAME). The Credit
Card Statement Name can be up to 11 characters long, including spaces, but must not contain
special characters (such as &, #, or _). The name is converted to all capital letters and might be
truncated by some credit card processors.
The Credit Card Statement Name should accurately reflect your business or legal name.
Getting Customer Contact Telephone Numbers
“Customer Contact Information Telephone” is an option that gives you a contact telephone
number for your customer. When you activate this option, customers are prompted to include a
contact telephone number with their payment information.
