Further help & troubleshooting

  1. CollectFair will work with any level of PayPal account, including the basic Personal accounts. However, you may find it helpful to choose the Premier or Business PayPal account, since this allows people to pay you by credit card.

  2. International sales are fully supported (PayPal covers over 55 countries) but CollectFair currently supports items priced in UK pounds (£) only. The buttons have been tested with the UK PayPal site.

  3. If your Buy Now button doesn't appear, or appears with a red cross when previewing your page, please double check your PayPal account email address on the Personal Details page.

  4. Always check your PayPal account to ensure you have received the money before posting items you have sold.
