Hi. I work at PayPal. Really good feedback from everyone, so thanks for that. This redesign has been a long time coming, and the team that launched it are some of the most brilliant I've ever been lucky enough to work with. As for the internal UI, that's changing soon too. If you're interested in checking out the beta, activate in-store checkout with your PayPal account at paypal.com/anywhere and you'll see the new a…

I'm quite interested by this: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/paypal-payments-advanced

Do you have any news when it would be available in the UK/Europe?

I like this that what Paypal had before, but I see one issue (on Mac Safari): On the https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/make-online-payments page, There is a drop down menu to select currency. Let's say I want to select TWD (New Taiwan Dollar), it's "below the fold" so I've got to scroll down. I do this using the scroll wheel, which I use almost all the time. So I see it's near the bottom of the list (because TWD sta…

works fine on: Win7 - Opera 12

On Mac Firefox this is less of a problem - as long as it doesn't register a mouse move while you're scrolling it won't disappear the list.
