Need directions to Post paypal payment received

[debidoo]

  Can someone post again directions for posting paypal payment received.  Make it as simplistic as possible because apparently I did it wrong last time and I need "directions for dummies"

One of the reasons that I use PAYPAL. It's easy to load the details of the deposit onto the screen and take a screenshot of the deposit.

1. Once you get the PAYPAL deposit on the screen of your PC, click on the PrintScreen button.

2. Load up your Paint software and click Edit, then paste, to bring the screenshot into the Paint software.
You can "crop" the loaded screenshot to show just what needs to be shown. Use the erasure to remove anything you don't want to show (like the transaction ID or your email address or other sensitive info you don't want the world to see)

3. Use the File: "Save As" option to save your modified screenshot to your Shared Pictures library. I use the jpeg extension. Name it something that makes sense to you so you can find it easily. (ie FusionCashPOPmmddyr.jpeg)

4. Load up the FC Forum, Contest and Promotions, and bring up the thread about loading up your payment. Click on the reply link so you will have the page handy when you get the URL from Tinypic.

5. Load up the Tinypic.com website. (or any other image making site that gives you URLs)

(I do this on Firefox since I've had problems reading the URLs in IE.)

Click Browse and locate the jpeg picture you just created in your Shared Picture library. Click "open" to bring the picture onto the Tinypic website.

Use "Image"; and "default" for your size.

Click on Upload NOW! on the Tinypic website. Complete the capcha.

6 You will get several sets of URL. Use the one for Forums.

I have found it easiest to click on the forum URL and use the right click on my mouse to copy it then move the cursor over to the FC forum reply window, click on the reply window and then right click the mouse and paste the URL into the reply window.

(I tried writing the URL down and entering it manually, but I usually had typo's. Copy/paste works best for me.)

7. Add your comments in the reply window (usually before the URL) and then click Preview to make sure everything worked the way you wanted it to. If it looks good, click Post. If it doesn't, try again.

Took me a while to get the routine down, but now it's old hat -- and I have found the process to be useful in posting POP's for other sites. The more you do it, the easier it becomes.

How much different is it to post a screenshot of the statement if your money
is loaded onto a debit card?

[swogden]

If you can load the statement onto your computer screen to take a screenshot of the page that shows the deposit, the process then is the same.

Take a screen shot of the statement; load it into the PAINT software.
Just "erase" out or black out the sections of the statement that you don't want to have the world to see.  You can do that in the PAINT window.  (ie don't do it to your bank statement or debit statement)

Save it as a jpeg picture in your shared pictures library. etc

The only thing I would add to Swogden's instructions relate to this step:

2. Load up your Paint software and click Edit, then paste, to bring the screenshot into the Paint software.
You can "crop" the loaded screenshot to show just what needs to be shown. Use the erasure to remove anything you don't want to show (like the transaction ID or your email address or other sensitive info you don't want the world to see)

When you 'crop" your bank statement or PayPal page, right-click and hit 'crop', then save that image. It made life much eaiser for me once I figured that out. By right-clicking and choosing 'crop' as your option you get only the section of the page you want to post for your screenshot and there is no need for erasure. Yields a simple and clean image for your post that gets you your $1 bonus.

Thanks for the "right click" direction for cropping.  I always clicked crop again and that worked for me on my laptop (Windows 7) , but not on my desktop (XP).

Question:  I am able to add comments to my page by typing what I want in a separate page (spreadsheet or email) and then right clicking and copying what I wrote and finally right clicking and pasting it onto the PAINT sheet for my XP PAINT software.

But I can't get my Windows 7 PAINT software to accept the paste.  Are do you get the Windows 7 PAINT software to accept comments written outside the page?

swogden,

Regarding this portion of your post:

But I can't get my Windows 7 PAINT software to accept the paste.  Are do you get the Windows 7 PAINT software to accept comments written outside the page?

Never attempted that so I really don't know. I have the feeling you're a little more proficient in that area than I am. I was just pleased as punch to figure out that right-click trick though. It makes posting a screenshot of each month's payment so much simpler and just gives the final post a more professional look. You always take so much time and effort to help the rookies around here and your info is so detailed that I was just glad to have something useful to contribute! I have to tell you that I'm a fan and always enjoy reading your posts. I learned a lot from you when I was new and still pick up useful tidbits here and there. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the "atta boy"!  Nice to know my comments have been helpful. 

Additional comments on the POP process.  The method I described works well on FC and on most sites/forums.  But occasionally I have found a forum where the script is not compatable with the tinypic URL's.  It shows the URL in the posting, but not the image.  Had to revert to copy/paste the POP to an email to myself; modify the email; and then copy/paste the modified email to the forum.  Bit of trial and error to get it right.
