[Phpwm] [OT] undocumented PayPal trick

[Phil Beynon]

This might be of some use to someone.........

Just discovered an apparently undocumented paypal feature - or at least its
not mentioned anywhere on their site that I can find.

I wanted to make a button for donations at example.co.uk on a site - but the
big top of the page banner on the paypal checkout page reflects the
ebaysales at example.co.uk which I specifically didn't want as it mentions
ebay.

It looks like their donation button creator routine inserts and embeds the
email account that is registered with them as the primary email account for
the user.
So for it to say donations@ in the page header create this account. confirm
it, set it to primary, then recreate the button code and use it on the site.
Once its confirmed that it works set the primary email account back to
ebaysales@ or whatever it was...

Regards,

Phil
