Pay Someone via PayPal Without an Account

PayPal decided to cancel my account, and ban me permanently for unknown reasons. As such, paying people via PP that do not use web forms, or those that create invoices is a huge PITA. For example, someone was selling a product, but only supplied their PP email address. Without an invoice or website I couldn't send a payment. However, some quick internet searching, I've found a work-around (until PP nixes that too): direct browser link! 

Use the link below (change the values as needed) to send money to a PP email without all the fluff. It's worked for me since Feb 2025.

There are some things you need to change in that URL above:

3. PRICE
   1. Enter the amount of money you are sending
4. CURRENCY
   1. I'm in the US, so my default is USD
