Hey! I recently had an issue with my paypal account and want to use a different
paypal account to make some purchases (or use stripe with a different debit card?).
I can't find anywhere where you enter in your own paypal information for
making purchases. I've made ~350 purchases and always used the same account,
so I've never explored this.

I appreciate it! Thank you.

If you are a buyer, what difference does it make which Paypal account you use?
I don't think you have to only use 1 type of payment if you want to purchase
on BL. When I use Paypal for purchases, the website I am on sends me to Paypal
and I sign in / and agree to the purchase. I think if you have a separate log
in for a different account, just use that.

Well I am buying with someone else's paypal account (they owe me some money),
and they're here wtih me and I can't find where I enter in their information
anywhere? I have about a $2000 credit with this person and am doing a test buy
from someones store now so I can make sure I can buy the designer program sets
tomorrow, and I can't find anywhere where I choose what paypal account to
use.

On the checkout with the test purchase, I only see
"paypal onsite" as an option. And the currency type.

For shipping I could potentially change the address, but not even the email address
is changeable in checkout. So where do I enter in the paypal address I'd
like to use?

Thanks.

Maybe try to, on the same browser:
— Go on PayPal.com, (maybe unsign,) sign in with your friend’s account.
— Then try the checkout.

Also, maybe it would be simpler if your friend just sent the $2000 to your account?

Hey! Thanks for the reply, but I don't think I can do that.

Where on bricklink is my paypal information stored? I assume I can just change
that account address on bricklink and then use their account straight away?

It isn't stored for buyers at all. What you might have are cookies on your
computer for PayPal dot com that cause you to be automatically logged in when
making a purchase.

As a buyer there's no PayPal information saved into your BrickLink account.

You simply pay using your PayPal credentials you've got to enter on PayPal
paiement page, at least once when you start a payment session.

In short, if PayPal still remembers the wrong credentials, simply:
* close the browser,
* reopen and maybe go to settings and remove the PayPal cookies.

Then retry the same, it should work.

It seems to know my paypal information - I assume I have my paypal address saved
in bricklink somewhere?

I tried just now clearing cookies and all saved data and it just knows my account
already.

No idea how to "select" which paypal account to use.

Still trying. Thanks for the help.

I haven't ordered anything in a while, maybe I'm just confused. I just
placed this order to see what would happen, and now I'm waiting on an invoice.
I guess the issue is I have to pay later when I get the invoice, and i can select
this other paypal account at that time. I think other sellers calculate the
shipping right away and you pay immediately, and if the seller is set up that
way I guess I'd have had to pick my paypal account right then.

Sorry I think I just confused for a minute. Just making sure things go smoothly
for tomorrow's purchase, lol.

appreciate the replies

You don't have to input anything, simply continue the BrickLink check out
process.

Note this shop apparently doesn't automatically calculate you the shipping
and eventual fees. See "TBD".

So they'll later on, manually, send you an invoice and then you will have
informations on how to pay (often on site, just one button to click).

It may take minutes to day to get this invoice.
Alternatively, you may better pick shops with automatic invoicing

If your friend owes you money I don't see why you wouldn't just have
them transfer the funds to your own PayPal account? That's how a debt is
usually paid.

  On the checkout with the test purchase, I only see
"paypal onsite" as an option. And the currency type.

is changeable in checkout. So where do I enter in the paypal address I'd

Thanks.

I'm concerned, why wouldn't your friend just pay you what they owe you?
That shouldn't be a problem, a debt has to be repaid, and they could do that
just by sending the money from their PayPal account to yours.

There appears to be more to this than what you're telling us. The reasons
might be legitimate but if I were in a similar situation I'd be happier if
my friend just paid me directly.

Cheers ...

Some sellers have stripe enabled, you can look in their terms to see what they
have for payment options. It will also be an option that you can select when
you go to check out or do a quote.

Hope this helps,
Cheers

I'll be the third person (who you'll probably ignore as well) to ask
why on earth you don't just transfer the money

I'm sorry, but this sounds nefarious, why wont you just transfer the funds?

Sort of, we just decided they'd enter in their paypal (which is connected
to their credit card) to pay me for a job. Nothing strange here =) I just forgot
that you can choose your paypal information once you get the invoice. I was
afk a bit after I figured out how to do it and we made our first purchase already,
so its all set up for the designer program purchase tomorrow.

I thought them buying it with paypal would be easiest. Plus I do a ton of lego
busines (was around 4k/mo) and I was concerned about transferring more money
to me then spending it again, in terms of tax issues. Easier this way I think!
Plus its a family member and on top of discounting them 50% or more for the
work, I'm not even going to charge/use what they owe me =)

Cheers

Hey Chili! I've ordered from you a few times and I am not ignoring anyone.
I even sent several personal messages to people thanking them for their help.

I got the issue figured out. I haven't made an order in like 6 months because
I just moved from the address you've shipped me probably 3 packages to, to
the midwest. I forgot that you actually put in the payment information after
you get the invoice (stupid, I know). I did a bunch of work for some family
here and thought it would be fun if they just bought me some lego (the new ones
tomorrow) instead of paying me. I'll probably only spend ~1500 not the full
2000 and call it a deal.

Just thought it would be fun for them to just buy the lego instead, nothing nefarious.


Anyways, nice to hear from you again! Look forward to a cool youtube movie I'm
making featuring all the space sets from classic through exploriens! I've
been planning to message a thank you to all the people I've bought from on
here and share the video with them. But I'm still in the filming phase!

Anyways, thanks for at least responding to my help request!

Cheers

Lol I just realized you were one of my regulars forgive my bluntness, It just
struck me as very odd to not take the seemingly easiest route.

Glad to hear it's nothing crazy.. I'm still confused as to why it can't
just be transferred though? Maybe someone can explain for my own knowledge. I'm
guessing having them link to a new BL account may be easier as well. Either way
sounds like someone got you sorted with a solution

Yes! Please share the vid when you are finished, that sounds amazing.

And good luck tomorrow morning. I'm on central time and am setting an alarm.
Hopefully we all can get something (or multiples of somethings)
