How to avoid problems with PayPal

Sometimes we receive complaints from Unity members stating that they do not receive the goods they paid for (status, market items, etc.). The same complaints are also received by site administrators from site members. I would like to describe the two most common problems here:

1) Please note that when your members pay by e-check, this payment needs to be cleared. This usually takes up to two weeks. So, before this payment gets clarified, their membership won't get updated. The same problem may be encountered on Unity, so if you want your status/membership get updated sooner, you need to use your current PayPal balance or credit/debit cards for payments.

2) There's also another problem: if your PayPal account doesn't automatically accept some currencies (like EUR), your members will not get updated unless you "accept" their payments made in a different currency, i.e. the currency not connected to your PayPal account. To avoid your manual interference into this process, you need to enable the following setting:
My Account -> Profile -> Payment Receiving Preferences -> Block payments sent to me in a currency I do not hold-> No, accept them and convert them to Euros (instead of Euros you will see your primary currency).

You can also pre-create additional currencies in My Account -> Profile -> Currency Balances.

Please contact me if you need more detailed clarifications.
