Thank you for the follow-up. OK, I executed the steps outlined above. Your instructions were exactly perfect for the screens I was presented. That's all set now - so, we should the functionality we're expecting now? Will this make the order status appear as "Approved, Pending Shipping" now for PayPal?
Thanks,
Jeff
Also had the same question, after following your (extremely clear!) directions. Will this now change the status of the order to "Approved, Pending Shipping"?
I just checked and it did so for me. May be a recent change to the program as it did not a couple of weeks ago.
