• Confirm Password - Re-type the password entered in the "Password" field above when changing a user's password.

  • Buyer - The user can place bids and make purchases
• First Name - The user's first name
  
• Last Name - The user's last name
  
• Allow Instant Checkout - This will be checked if the user is allowing their bidders/buyers to check out immediately with PayPal; requiring no additional input from the seller.  If unchecked, the seller will need to manually create individual system sales invoices.
  
• Accept PayPal - The user has enabled the ability to collect payment for their sales through the standard PayPal service.
• Payment Instructions – Additional notes entered by the user containing payment instructions for their sold goods.
• PayPal Email - The email address associated with the user’s PayPal account

  • Newsletter – When checked the user has elected to opt-in to newsletter emails

• Save - Apply all changes made to the account.
  
• Deactivate User - This option will stop a user from signing in, and the user will no longer appear in default User Management Views. Deactivating a user account instead of deleting it also has the benefit of preventing a user from re-registering using the same email and/or username in the future.
• Delete User - Deleting the user account will remove all associated records.  This includes sales transactions, bid/purchase history, user feedback, invoices, messages, and listings created.
