Is it possible to modify the currency list in PayPal. I would like remove some currencies.
There is a list of currencies in Pay Pal. See the currencies here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/dmo/demo_mc_1-outside . One can accept/pay in more than one currency.
The way to cancel or to stop using one of your currencies (or to make a currency disappear, if you wish) is to click on the "Currency converter" link (on the right to your main balance figure/number (where the amount of money you have on your Pay Pal account is written) - and that will take you to a page with your available active currencies, there select one and deactivate.
There's no 'currency list' in PayPal.

I have e-book selling website where I used a paypal button to accept the payment. The button is created from paypal website and its code snippet is added in the form to show the button(not via api). When I set the currency of the button to USD then indian paypal users are not able to use the button. It says "Merchant Does bot accept payment in your currency". If I change it to INR then it only accepts the indian customers only.
Is there any way to accept all currencies via a common button. I means Indians could pay me in INR and Others in USD.
Thanks in advance.
No, separate currencies are needed due to Indian regulations, and there is no support for combining multiple currencies (and their respective amounts) within a single button, other than coding it yourself.
If you generate buttons at PayPal, you need one button for domestic payments in INR, and another button for international payments in a currency such as USD.
It's possible to make something like a dropdown or radio buttons that switch a single PayPal button between the configurations for amount1/USD and amount2/INR -- i.e., give the buyer a way to select their country and change the amount/currency based on that -- but to do that you will need to write some custom JavaScript code to make the switch.
My transactions look kinda like this now:
displaying both euro and usd
Is there a way for it to only display Euro?
When logged in to PayPal you click the activity button on the top left and there
activity
It displays all the transactions with an option for currency.

However this doesn't change all curencies on my transactions page, nor does it remember the chosen currency.
Yes you can change your account's primary currency so all transactions are automatically transferred to your choice.

I am looking for assistance with multiple buttons on a page, some which have postage and nultiple items, some without or free postage.
At present i have a standard shopping cart option on a page created from the standard create button PayPal page, which provides a space for the buyer to type in their requirements with includes free postage and works fine.
A second shopping cart on the same page offers a similar buyer feature but adds postage, all works fine.
Third, fourth and fifth buying options are single buy now buttons each with added postage.
But the problem for the buyer is that when they a add a single item with postage and a multi-buy shopping cart option, they end up with duplicate postage...
If they buy 2 single items using the buy now buttons + a multi-buy they end up having three duplicate postage costs in their order.
Any suggestions welcomed to avoid duplication of postage costs, thanks.
I'm not sure how you currently have the shipping set up (whether via the buttons themselves or the shipping profile), but this is how I would tackle this:
For the items that are free shipping, within the shipping option in the button itself I would set a shipping cost of 0.00. Then set up the shipping calculations section in Tools or your Profile for your shipping rates for the items that do have shipping costs. In the last step of the shipping calculations creation, you want the box to be checked to use the shipping cost in the transaction instead of your calculator settings and that will allow the buttons you have a shipping cost entered directly into to override the shipping costs you set in the shipping calculator.
If you need any assistance setting up the shipping calculator you may call into PayPal Support and they can assist you.
I would like to use Paypal in conjunction with a web form for selling conference tickets. Tickets will be available in various types and prices - standard, student, couple.
I would like users to be able to select a variety of tickets in one transaction - for example, two standard tickets and one student ticket.
Ideally I would have Paypal manage the inventory so that people can't make payments when tickets have run out. The limit on tickets is on the total; numbers within categories don't matter.
I can set up a ticket item on Paypal and limit it to the appropriate number, and I can set option prices. What I can't work out is how I send a request to Paypal with more than one "option + quantity" pair selected.
Any help gratefully received!
You would not be able to send more than one option + quantity pair over to PayPal with the standard add to cart or buy now buttons and have PayPal keep track of the inventory. Your best options would be either to set up the inventory on the PayPal side, and use add to cart buttons for each option + quantity.
Another option would be to use the cart upload method, where you pass over all the item details during checkout. This is similar to what 3rd party carts do. They keep track of what the buyer is adding to their cart, and then when they are ready to checkout they simply send all of the details over to PayPal in one POST. With this method, you would have to keep track of the inventory on your end though.
My question is this - is there any way to create a paypal button which allows the customer to enter the value of the amount they wish to pay. I do not wish to use a 'donate' button because it is not a donation situation - it is a sale of a product.
Example: I have an ethically produced environmentally friendly product. The base price will be $10.00 (for example), but I would ask and allow people to pay/contribute more if they wanted to in support of the ethical/environmental aspect of the product.
So one customer might want to pay $11 while another might want to pay $13.
Is it possible to allow this to happen with any type of paypal button - excluding the donate button.
Thanks

Yes, this is possible, but what you'd need to do is have a system by which they would enter their price on your website (and obviously you can check it's >=$10) and once they've entered a price, you would create the button code using the price they've specified.
