Update 02/20: PayPal updated the promotion terms. Now you are only eligible for this offer if you receive it in an email sent to you directly from PayPal
In case you missed the last PayPal promotion here is your chance to catch up. Google Checkout hasn’t gone anywhere and PayPal is still worried about just how stable their leading position is. So here is PayPal’s shot back at Google in this ever lasting game where you and me are the winners.
The rebate is one time use, valid February 8 through March 31, and applies everywhere PayPal is accepted. Register here to enroll and make sure to read the terms and conditions.

Does this mean that if I make a $30 donation using a link on my church’s web site that I’ll get $15 back? Or does this just apply to big merchants?
This could be a big money maker for non-profits.
Donations are excluded. Here is an extract from Terms and Conditions:
Excluded Transactions. The following transactions are excluded from this offer: Send Money transactions, payments to Personal Accounts, eBay payments made to Personal Accounts, donations, PayPal Mobile transactions, payments for services, Virtual Debit Card payments, PayPal ATM/ Debit Card payments and PayPal Plus Credit Card payments not made through your PayPal account.
But if the place is registered as a business, how do they know it’s a donation?
When you pay with PayPal you have to choose what it is: goods, service/other, eBay item, or cash advance
