Tap your profile in the upper-right corner. The profile button has an icon of a person on it.

QuestionI won money and always see the message that I have money in my PayPal account. How can I get that money?Community AnswerManually enter the address PayPal.com in your browser and log into your PayPal account. Click "Accept" for any new amount in your PayPal account and transfer it to a linked bank. However, don't click the link in any message saying that you've won money in your PayPal account, as it's likely a scam to get your personal information.

QuestionThis does not seem to work for my site. Years ago I made a site with a picture of a "Buy Now" button connected to a hyperlink that took the customer to the PP button I made. Is this still possible?Community AnswerYou can only do this if you have a single price option on the button. It won't work if you have drop-down menu with various options.
