Sarah W,

There is a short wait period after you change the Website's  Regional settings, and change the locale.

By you looking around for something else to set, the wait period passed and you were able to add a PayPal Module

Sarah,

Thank you for this. I was struggling.

This is not an acceptable state of affairs from Microsoft, especially not that it is a paid for service

Really Helpful - many thanks

Thanks to Rene Modery for providing the correct answer but can someone from MSFT explain the reason for disabling the PayPal gadget on a regional basis? Especially since you only have to change regions to activate it. If not, I hope the information in this thread has been submitted to the dept responsible for this daft arrangement so it can be changed.

No, I am still not coming right with any of the suggestions above.  Where do I change the User Settings - on the actual user accounts themself or somewhere else?  I am also not sure if this is a problem since I have been upgraded to the new Office 365 as I seem to recall seeing the PayPal gadget before the upgrade

All the old gadgets were removed from the new version ("upgraded"). Some code can be added using the "embed code" tool  - Paypal buttons appear to work but there's apparently no way now to add javascript now which is a major downgrade.
