I just checked my PayPal account and I don't see any changes. It's still:

If you know what the new mandatory field is, please share and I will update the first post. Thanks.

They now have currency type as a mandatory field. Apparently it wasn't a required field before. But your first post & instuctions are still valid.

Oh, I thought currency was mandatory all the time.

Thanks for clearing that up.

The change is a minor one. Am not entirely sure if the old format works. Below is the link....

As long as I have been using PayPal, I didn't know this trick. Thank you.

**mkellerman** · 10-27-2008, 09:40 AM

I think the old format works. They may have added another option field.

Thanks for this post/thread!
I have been meaning to read up on MassPay, didn't realize how long it has been out, but glad I know more now.

I'm sure you saved me, and others, some time with your DIY-Guide and with all the Feedback given by the DNF community really clears up MassPay.

**sng** · 11-01-2008, 12:36 AM

Very Nice information, will try it the next time I use Paypal.

Prosperous · 12-11-2008, 12:00 PM

Crap, I always forget of using this... Needed the reminder, thanks!

**wussadotcom** · 12-12-2008, 04:59 AM

wow.thanks for the post. I was figuring about this for sometime

**ravdn** · 12-12-2008, 12:22 PM

Excellent Information.

**LadyHoldem** · 02-10-2009, 07:56 AM

Thanks a BUNCH! I use paypal several times a day, and am forever sighing over the fee's. I wrote them off, and man, had to face the total amt of paypal fee's paid in a year, it's a sick number.

Used this for the first time today! Wo0T!

An easy way to use Mass Pay is to simply use Notepad and save a 3 column tab delimited file on your desktop. Then use Notepad to edit the email addr and payment amount each time used and resave it to the desktop. You can use the PayPal page browse button to find the txt file on your desktop where it is easy to locate. The commission savings are substantial and takes just a few seconds to edit the file each time you use it.

Forgive the shameless advertising but it is relevant here... The Gremlins Umbrella Authority offers a Masspay File Generator
