Iconix eMail ID software download PayPal
Iconix is committed to making it easy to identify legitimate emails. We are working closely with companies like Google and Iconix to give our users the best protection against fraudulent, phishing and suspect emails. If you are a
Gmail user, it's easy to identify legitimate emails. You can simply enable an icon which will only show up when an email is from PayPal (or from our sister company, eBay). So when you receive an email from us, or our partners at eBay , you will see a key icon next to the message in your Inbox. Only
legitimate PayPal emails have this icon so if you get an email claiming to come from PayPal and you don't see the icon, it's not from us. So please don't open it. To enable this feature in Gmail, go to 'Settings', 'Labs', then tick the Enable box next to the 'Authentication icon for verified senders' option and
click on 'Save Changes'. This software download from Iconix can help reduce phishing by confirming whether you received a legitimate PayPal email. After Iconix eMail ID has been installed, you'll see an Iconix eMail ID icon (a gold lock with a tick) whenever you receive authentic emails from PayPal. It's
free and it works with most of the major email services like Gmail, (Google Mail), MSN Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook Express, and many more. If your preferred email program, web mail provider or operating system. is not listed, click here and we will notify you when support is available. For more information, go to the Iconix website, How does the Iconix solution work? The Iconix solution couples our advanced technologies with authentication techniques such as
Yahoo!'s Domain Keys and
Microsoft's Sender ID to confirm the source of an email, and will support Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM), which is a joint effort between Cisco and Yahoo!, as it is adopted in the industry. This combined solution makes it very difficult for bad guys to spoof the identity of emails with an Iconix Truemark
icon.

Instant Coming Soon: Accept Multiple Currencies for PayPal Website Payments
Many website sellers have requested the ability to accept payments
in currencies other than U.S. Dollars (USD). As a result, in mid-November
PayPal will be extending multiple currency support to support for four
additional currencies: Canadian Dollars (C$), Euros (€), Pounds Sterling
(£), and Japanese Yen (¥).
To create a new payment button in your desired currency, choose
one of the five supported currencies from the "Currencies" drop-down menu
in the PayPal Button Factory.
To convert an existing payment button, just add one line of HTML
code to the payment button to indicate the currency of the payment. For
example, if your currency of choice is Euros, the currency_code line below
should be added to the button's HTML code:
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code"
value="EUR">
Use the following "currency_code" values to specify the currency
of your payment:
Note: If you only accept U.S. Dollar ($) payments, you do not need
to update your payment buttons. If the currency_code for a payment button
is omitted, the default currency will be U.S. Dollars.
Additional information will be available after we launch this feature.
Instant Starting on October 9, to increase the ease of conducting
international transactions, PayPal will begin to support transactions in
multiple currencies. The initial roll-out of Multiple Currencies will give
PayPal account holders the option of sending and receiving their payments
in Pounds Sterling or Euros, as well as U.S. Dollars.
When the Multiple Currencies feature is launched, sellers
will be able to choose the currencies in which they would like to conduct
business by setting up their Payment Receiving Preferences. Sellers will
continue to transact only in U.S. Dollars unless they elect to accept Euro
and/or Pound Sterling payments.
Sellers who choose to receive payments in multiple
currencies will have the option of maintaining separate balances for each
currency in their PayPal account, or automatically converting all payments
they receive into a single currency.

Buyers Can Checkout Without a PayPal
Account
With a recent improvement to Website Payments
PayPal
no longer requires new buyers to create a PayPal
account when they send you payments.

for future purchases. That makes the process smoother,
resulting in more completed sales and more satisfied customers.
People are talking about this exciting feature. For more details on our improved
checkout
The
new checkout feature applies to Website Payments (Buy Now Buttons, Donations, PayPal

The conditions are:

effects and incidences of surcharging on our community over the coming months
and may continue to revise our policies on this issue in the future.

Use Policy to the User Agreement to further clarify items which may be sold
using PayPal, and items which may be sold or advertised on websites listed in
the PayPal Shops directory. PayPal customers are ultimately responsible for
making sure that the transactions they enter into using PayPal are legal. While
the Acceptable Use Policy is primarily a clarification of existing PayPal
policies, in our attempt to find the right balance between serving the needs of
our diverse customer base while at the same time minimizing our financial risks,
it was necessary to introduce some additional limitations on the use of PayPal.
The Acceptable Use Policy will replace the PayPal Shops Allowable Goods and
Services Guidebook.
The Acceptable Use Policy below will take immediate effect for all accounts who
sign up on or after March 13, 2003. All accounts who signed up prior to March
13, 2003 will have 60 days to comply with any new terms and conditions in the
Acceptable Use Policy below. These accounts must continue to abide by the
previous terms of the PayPal User Agreement and associated Policies during the
60-day grace period. As always, there will be no grace period for compliance
with regard to any activity that is believed to be illegal.
