When I upped mine I couldn’t decipher the recurring thing.
I kept the original and set up a small additional one.

Same here
Yeah, PayPal can be quite frustrating on any number of fronts. Generally, one single payment attracts a lower rate of fees, so if it is possible to combine or replace with a single one, that’s the preference, but I fully appreciate it’s a cluster fuck.

OK, will look at doing that
Have you looked into Patreon as an alternative? I don’t know what their fee structure is like.

Ooh, that’s not a bad idea. Will investigate when I have a moment of free time (so in about 6-9 months) and see.
Feckin’ useless system !
Just tried to up my recurring Payment - can’t do that, so cancelled existing payment and now can’t set up a new one 
Have sent a few quid anyway but anybody know how to set up a new old recurring payment ?

How do I check the status, do you know where the recurring payment is? I set it up for £5 per month ages ago but can’t see anything for it in my account activity.
I do the same for radio paradise and I get emails from them monthly to say that has been received but that doesn’t show in my activity either.
Fucking hate paypal.
As for Patreon, it’s a lot more than PayPal, at least another 5% on top of what PayPal are charging.
Again, this is just to explain, but actually a single annual payment means a lower percentage gets paid than multiple smaller payments (assuming you are unable to send as a donation).
I can just set up a standing order direct into your bank account if you want. PM me.

Me too, if it helps.
Saves on PP fees.
Me too please Jon
I was able to send payment as friends and family, would that still be charged a commission?
No, that should come through with the full amount for me if it’s marked as a donation. Whether people are able to do that seems quite hit and miss with Paypal.
