Continued -- Using Paypal to Receive Funds:
"In using PayPal to receive money, many options are available. If you give someone the e-mail address associated with your PayPal account, that person can send you money from their own PayPal account. If you're selling items on eBay, you can select PayPal as an option for accepting payment through eBay. If you're selling from your own store or Web site, there are a number of options available for completing sales transactions with PayPal, including the following:
- Adding a PayPal "buy now" button for each item you are selling
- Integrating a PayPal shopping cart with your Web site using the PayPal application programming interface (API)
- Accepting payments offline or off-site to process later using PayPal's Virtual Terminal
When you're signed in to PayPal, the "merchant services" tab reveals the options available to you as a seller. Cost and availability of these services depend on which Web site payments type you've selected for your account. You'll have the "standard" type by default as a recipient, but you can upgrade to the "pro" type for a $30 monthly subscription fee. Merchants with a moderate to high volume of transactions should choose the pro type to avoid various fees.
From the merchant services page, you can set up new "buy now" or "add to cart" buttons for your site. This generates code you can copy and paste into the HTML for your Web pages. When a buyer clicks one of these buttons, your site links to a shopping cart at PayPal's site to complete the transaction. This takes the burden off you, as a seller, of managing how that online shopping cart and checkout should look and function.
Once you're set up to receive money, the burden is on you as the recipient to cover the transaction costs. PayPal charges its business and premier account holders a per-transaction cost of 30 cents, plus 2.9% of the transaction amount. If the merchant has a higher sales volume within a month, that percentage could drop to as low as 1.9%. PayPal also charges fees for exchanging between its 25 accepted currencies in international transactions. These fees help cover PayPal's customer support and other services reserved for business and premier customers.
The last option shown above is accepting offline and off-site payments. This means you've taken the buyer's name and credit card information outside of PayPal. You can enter that information and process the transaction using PayPal's virtual terminal service. Unlike other fee-based services at PayPal, virtual terminal requires a subscription of $30 per month. As well as the fee, the per-transaction costs mentioned above still apply.
As a recipient, you can remove money from your PayPal account by making a withdrawal. These are your options for making the withdrawal:
- Transfer money to a bank account associated with your PayPal account
- Request that PayPal mail you a paper check for a certain amount
- Make purchases using a PayPal debit card."

Continued -- Paypal Account Types"
"PayPal has three account types: Personal, Premier and Business. All these account types can use the following core PayPal functions:
- Sending money
- Requesting money
- Using auction tools
- Making payments from a Web site
- Debit card services
- Customer service
Besides these functions, the three accounts also share certain features and limitations. For example, if you have a verified account, you can send up to $10,000 in a single transaction, and there are generally no transaction fees for sending and receiving money between PayPal accounts. However, you'll pay a fee when using a PayPal debit card or receiving money for something that requires a currency exchange. Unverified accounts, including those without an associated bank account or credit card, have more restrictive sending and withdraw limits. You can determine the limits on your account by clicking a "view limits" link near the top of the page after you sign in to PayPal.
The three PayPal account types differ in some important ways. First, Personal accounts give you access to the core features, but that's all. PayPal handles customer support for Personal accounts primarily by e-mail or through a virtual customer support agent at the PayPal Web site. There's a phone number available, but it's not toll-free and may have extensive wait times.
Premier and Business accounts are almost the same. The main difference is that a Business account must be registered with a business or group name, while a Premier account can be registered with a business, group or individual. Also, you can set up multiple users to access a business account.
In addition to PayPal's core functions, Business and Premier accounts provide these options:
- Accepting debit and credit card payments
- Allowing senders to set up recurring payments (subscriptions)
- Unlimited use of a PayPal ATM/debit card
Business and Premier Accounts also get a toll-free customer service number and extended customer service hours. These extra features come at the cost of transaction fees, which we'll take a closer look at later.
If you're starting your own PayPal account for a business, compare the fees and services from PayPal against other credit card transaction services to determine which works best for your needs. Consider that with PayPal, most of the code you'll need to add to a Web site is automated for you, too. Shopping cart functions or "pay now" buttons may not be as easy to implement through other services."

Continued -- Signing Up for PayPal:
"Signing up for PayPal does not require you to enter any bank account information. However, if you want to use many of PayPal's features, you will need to add and verify a checking account OR credit card. To get started, internet access is required. A "Sign Up" link can be found at the top of the site's home page.
At the next page, you'll choose whether you want a personal, business or premier account. If you just plan to use PayPal for the occasional eBay auction or online purchase, a personal account is the right choice. If you intend to use PayPal to accept payments for a business, then a business or premier account would be more suitable. If you select a personal account, you can upgrade in the future.
From there, PayPal asks for some basic personal information: your legal first and last name, address, telephone number and e-mail address. You'll also need to check the box indicating that you agree to PayPal's user agreement, privacy policy, acceptable use policy and electronic communications policy. Once you click to create your account, you'll receive an e-mail with instructions for verifying your account and confirming your address.
From here, you should know what PayPal means when it refers to this verification and confirmation process. Having your information vetted by PayPal shows both buyers and sellers that you are less likely to be a scammer.
A PayPal account is verified if you've associated that account with a current bank account or credit card. This is more than just entering account information. PayPal will ask you to follow certain steps to complete the verification process. For a checking account, for example, PayPal will make two micropayments to that account, usually about five cents each. Then, you'll need to enter the amounts of those micropayments as verification.
A PayPal account is confirmed if you've completed one of three options to signal to PayPal that the address on your account is valid. The fastest of these is to verify a bank account or credit card matching the address you've entered as the PayPal account's address. As an alternative, you can request a confirmation code by mail after you've had the account for 90 or more days, or you can apply for a PayPal Extras MasterCard which confirms your address by running a credit check."

Hi Donnie,
I hope this information arrives to you before the New Year. It'll be a nice way to cap off 2012, don't you think?

I am copy-and-pasting useful paragraphs from information sites HowStuffWorks and Wikipedia. The articles themselves are too long to include in their entirety.

Introduction to Paypal:
"PayPal is an online payment service that allows individuals and businesses to transfer funds electronically. Here are some of the things you might use PayPal for:
- Send or receive payments for online auctions at eBay and other Web sites
- Purchase or sell goods and services
- Make or receive donations
- Exchange cash with someone
You can send funds to anyone with an e-mail address, whether or not they have a PayPal account. To receive the funds, though, the recipient must have a PayPal account associated with that e-mail address. Basic PayPal accounts are free, and many financial transactions are free as well, including all purchases from merchants that accept payments using PayPal.
If you have a PayPal account, you can add and withdraw funds in many different ways. You can associate your account with bank accounts or credit cards for more direct transactions, including adding and withdrawing money. Other withdrawal options include using a PayPal debit card to make purchases or get cash from an ATM, or requesting a check in the mail."

Awesome, you didn't ramble, you made it really easy to understand what you are feeling, and how you are doing. Sure less smiling, but you are so aware of yourself, and your feelings, that you can't go wrong, you are ahead of the pack, your winning the race, just hang in there, it doesn't matter if the flame goes out, your blog proves you have a spark that will relight your flame anytime you need it. :) I am moved by your pieces of writing and I think you are special :)

How come you changed your PrisonInmates profile? I really liked the one that you said you were getting out. Especially since you claimed that you had new DNA evidence to prove your innocence. Yet you’ve said multiple times that NO evidence except your ex-wives spoken lies were used against you in court. So that is a pretty big discrepancy. You also make the outlandish claim that your defense (not sure who, Hart?) is in contacts with the courts about a “fat settlement” on your behalf. So not true. Racine County Victim Witness validated that no such action was in motion, nothing even close. This was such a blatant attempt to lure women into thinking they had a real chance at love with you and stringing them along just long enough to get some money out of them and then on to the next. I get it, I really do. But it’s laughable for those of us looking on from afar. You screaming online about how happy you are that you’re getting out. “I’m getting out! I’m so happy I could scream!” And the truth of course is that you are not getting out. So what would make you say something like that? You are either knowingly lying and then what is the purpose of that type of lie? To get women to write you and think you’re on the verge of getting out. And with claims of a big settlement some lonely woman thinks she found the jackpot in you! A almost released, soon to be rich man who has good looks in his picture and swears he doesn’t care about how you look (age, race, weight). What a deal for any lucky lady! The second option of course is that you might actually believe your own delusions. The first one is what I assume the motivation is, the second one is incredibly sad Sean. If you actually believe your own crazy statements then you are much further gone that even I suspect at this point. I mean Sean, come on now. You’re doing 7 ½ years for the escape/damage charges. Then if the 200 years were taken away by some miracle you would be charged with the second batch of jail damage as well as the threats to the judge and D.A.’s. So let’s just say another decade to be super conservative. Then you’d be brought back to Utah to face dozens of state felonies for commercial burglary, theft, vehicular theft for the ATV’s, trailers and RV from St. George. You’d face all the car wash theft charges, the federal mail charges, the breaking the window at the Chase bank on Redwood and so many others I can’t even think of them all right now. You are far from “getting out” and acting as if the special day is any day upon us now. You will die in prison and every single person alive is better off for it because all you ever do is hurt people, destroy lives and destroy property. You have no redeeming value and you are a danger to society. You are exactly where you deserve to be and where you need to be for public safety.

Thank you for spending $304.xx to have the United States Marshall Service bring lawsuit papers to your ex-wife. What a good use of money. I mean think of how many soups that could have bought you or even almost a tv. I think DOC tv’s cost about $400, right? Well anyway, money well spent because you’re totally going to get two million dollars for delusional lies  Oh, one other thing. You don’t have the new address you bitch and you know it. That’s why the last mail was sent to the old address. And when you were confronted on the telephone and asked to say the new address in open court you declined. You have mailed nothing to the new address. And you’re so good at letting people know that you ‘know’ new things (such as smiley faces next to the last name) that if you did have the new address you would be all over it and mailing something to let us all know. But you haven’t and you didn’t say it out loud on the phone during court. But you said you have it. Seriously, you are so pathetic.
