two questions

A. Can anybody with a PayPal account both send and receive money? Or do you have to do something special to receive?
B. The application for Password only has an e-mail address, yet it's obviously a print application. I can't figure out where to send it. Does anybody know?
Thanks.

1. I have only sent money - so I do not know.
2. Ask skoop - she applied so she would know.

You don't have to do anything special to receive cash transfers, though from what I understand, you have to do something special to receive credit card payments.

The payments would go into my bank account, then? That would be ideal.

No, they go into your PayPal account. You can then transfer that to your bank account or use a PayPal debit card.

Okay, thanks. That may be even better, since I can keep those funds separate.

If they use their credit card as a funding source, you must upgrade to a business account and will be charged a transaction fee of .30 plus a % of the total charge (it varies depending on volume, but figure 3%).
The catch is that, once you upgrade, the fees are charged on ALL of the payments you receive, no matter the funding source.
You can get your money by having a check cut (there's a charge), or an electronic transfer to your bank account. If you apply for a Paypal debit card, you can purchase with that or ATM withdrawal (there's a charge).
I think there may also be a limit to how much you can receive if you don't upgrade.
It usually takes a couple of days for transfers to show up in your bank account. You need to allow for that when the money is required.

I printed out the app, filled it in, scanned it, and sent that as an attachment to the email address.
They did acknowledge receipt, but you see I am not on your TV this week so there may well be a better route. Or it's because I asked for a celebrity partner they fear will expire any moment.

I did it last week, same thing, filled it in, scanned it in and emailed it as an attachment with a picture. Then I got this bounced back:
Thank you for your interest in Million Dollar Password!
To be considered, please submit a recent photo with a paragraph stating why you
would make a great contestant for our show to
MILLIONDOLLARCASTING@GMAIL.COM.
Thank You,
MDP Casting Department
So I sent a paragraph and a photo. I'm not sure if you can just skip the step with the application since they didn't seem concerned with it. Who knows. I take the whole thing to be a little sketchy, I'm guessing maybe at this point they aren't really casting anymore?

It depends on how well the show does next week. If it gets picked up, we'll all get called......
