Is there any way to prevent people paying by eCheck in a PayPal payment. They can be cancelled by the sender, or the payment can bounce, and I don't want to deal with it in my business logic.
I received my first eCheck payment today, and my code crashed, it was trying to parse the paypal response, and the field PAYMENTINFO_0_FEEAMT was missing for some reason.
here is the response from paypal - not the bizarre check clear date 1969-12-31?

I remember fixing this issue for reference transactions (DoReferenceTransaction) by adding PAYMENTTYPE=InstantOnlyto the API request.
Based on PayPal's API reference I see that the PAYMENTTYPE parameter is supported in SetExpressCheckout (as L_PAYMENTTYPEn)
and DoExpressCheckoutPayment. I haven't looked at other express checkout operations.
In PayPal's new REST API, looks like you can set the payment_mode parameter to INSTANT_TRANSFER
