Pay Pal problems

[u812]

Just noticed this yesterday.
When trying to send a payment it would not go through,got a missing email info notice.I figured it was a glitch so I use the CC.
I just tried again tonight with someone on the exchange and got the same error.I was able to make payment after he sent me a money request.I called pay pal to see what the problem was and after a good 30 min wait time I found out you can no longer copy and paste the email address in the box,you must type it in.I always pasted it and it worked up until yesterday.
Hope this might help someone else with out them having to wait on hold with pay pal.

I wonder if that is some kind of security measure to "help" people ensure that they are sending $ to the right party. Of course, it's probably even easier to make a simple typo and send it to the wrong party.

That's on the first page, on the next page it confirms to whom you're sending, and if it's wrong, you can back out.

Thanks for sharing that tidbit, I had always copied and pasted addresses. Wonder if you can still paste it, then type over what you did? Oh well, I don't have any money to send anyway.
