PayPal seems a lot less secure now
on: September 06, 2014, 02:54:27 AM
Has anyone else noticed that PayPal has removed the option to copy and paste into the recipient box when sending money

I've noticed that whatever I use be it my iPhone, her iPad or my sons nexus7 , I can no longer simply copy and paste into the recipient box.
I used to always do it that way to be absolutely certain I had the correct address.

Definitely a step backwards in my view.
I don't claim to know it all, but what I do know is right.

If if you referring to copying the seller's email address from elsewhere (like MTO) and pasting it into the Paypal "send to"
 box or whatever its called, I just did that.

For some reason I can no longer do it. Normally you tap and hold in the box and the option comes up to either copy paste etc.

But now nothing happens.
Very strange and I feel very very uncomfortable without it.

EDIT:  I just tried again now and nothing happens.  :ahhh

You can still revert to the Classic view, if you care.  Maybe that will help.

They are more related to the fees one has to pay. Might depend on your location. I got the email yesterday.
