Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]
General Presentation and Basis of Financial Statements
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 that was filed on April 15, 2013.
 
In the opinion of management, the Company has prepared the accompanying financial statements on the same basis as its audited financial statements, and these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year 2013.
Management and Investment Advisory Fees, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Going Concern and Management's Plan
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has continued to incur losses, although it has taken significant steps to reduce them.   For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported a net loss of $282,600 and for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company reported a loss of $4,146,200. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $51,238,700 at June 30, 2013 and used $409,500 of cash in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
In January 2013, the Company entered into a partnership agreement with Music City Networks (“MCN”). In accordance with the agreement, as of the effective date, MCN will be providing the above mentioned client based services directly to the Company’s clients in exchange for a profit participation as defined in the agreement.  Going forward the primary focus of PAID is to expand upon and monetize its Intellectual Property.
 
Management has reduced the Company’s losses in the music and entertainment area and focused the Company on its growing patent portfolio. The Company has restructured personnel and has partnered with MCN to oversee business functions, such as fulfillment operations, client services, and business development. This changes the business model for engaging in these activities to improve efficiency and reduce costs.  The Company will continue to develop key partnerships to aid in the acquisition of new clients and services and thus continue to be involved in this aspect of the business.
 
Management believes that these changes will reduce revenues and gross profits for 2013. However, the costs of doing business will be significantly reduced in hopes of eliminating the net loss and providing positive cash flow from operations.  Although there will be a reduction in revenues and gross profits, the reduction should be offset by the profit participation in MCN’s activities.  In addition, the Company continues to increase its efforts to generate income from its patents.
 
Although there can be no assurances, the Company believes that the above management plan will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital requirements through the end of 2013.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by the Company’s management include, but are not limited to, the collectability of accounts receivable, the realizability of inventories, the fair value of investments in trading securities, the recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and the estimated fair value of the royalty and advance guarantees, stock options, warrants and shares issued for non-cash consideration. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Investment, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Investments
 
As of June 30, 2013, the Company's investments consisted of trading securities that were stated at fair value, with gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value recognized in earnings as other income (expense), net in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date. Marketable debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized as earnings. Debt securities are classified as held for maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held to maturity securities are recorded as either short term or long term on the balance sheet based on contractual maturity dates and are stated at cost. Securities not classified as held to maturity or as trading, are classified as available-for-sale, and are carried at fair market value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included in the determination of comprehensive income and reported in shareholders' equity.
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable, are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful collections of $53,300, at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. In determining this allowance, objective evidence that a single receivable is uncollectible as well as a historical pattern of collections of accounts receivable that indicates the entire face amount of a portfolio of accounts receivable may not be collectible is considered at each balance sheet date. Accounts are written off when significantly past due after exhaustive efforts at collection.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Inventories
 
Inventories consist of merchandise for sale and are stated at the lower of average cost or market determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. When a purchase contains multiple copies of the same item, they are stated at average cost.
 
Management periodically reviews inventories on hand to ascertain if any are slow moving or obsolete. In connection with this review, lower of cost or market write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the excess or obsolete inventories.
Advanced Royalties [Policy Text Block]
Advanced royalties
 
In accordance with GAAP, advanced royalties, which consist of artist royalty advances, are deferred when paid and expensed based on the completion of performances, shows or other activities. Certain royalty agreements contain guarantees by the Company on the amount of proceeds the holder will receive from the sale of the Company’s common stock, and the liability is accounted for at fair value on the date of issuance.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the respective lease term.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets consist of patents, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 17 years.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Asset Impairment
 
Long lived assets held and used are reviewed to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company bases its evaluation on indicators about the future economic benefits that the assets can be expected to provide including historical or future profitability measurements. Management reviews the estimated useful lives, as well as other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If such impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, if impairment is indicated, the Company recognizes a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the asset.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Financial instruments and certain non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at their fair value as determined based on the assets highest and best use. GAAP has established a framework for measuring fair value that is based on a hierarchy, which requires that the valuation technique used be based on the most objective inputs available for measuring a particular asset or liability. There are three broad levels in the fair value hierarchy, which describe the degree of objectivity of the inputs used to determine fair value. The fair value hierarchy is set forth below:
 
Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. They are based on best information available in the absence of level 1 and 2 inputs.
 
The fair value of the Company's cash, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and capital leases are approximately the same as their carrying amounts.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Income Taxes
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. Deferred taxation is provided in full in respect of taxation deferred by timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company's practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties on the Company's condensed balance sheets at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and has not recognized interest and/or penalties in the condensed statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Revenue recognition
 
The Company currently generates revenue principally from sales of fan experiences, fan club membership fees, sales of its purchased inventories, and from client services.
 
Fan experience sales generally include tickets and related experiences at concerts and other events conducted by performing artists associated with these fan experience revenues, are deferred until the related event has been concluded, at which time the revenues and related direct costs are recognized.
 
Fan club membership fees are recognized ratably over the term of the related membership, generally one year.
 
The Company recognizes merchandise sales revenue upon verification of the credit card transaction, shipment of the merchandise, and the discharge of all obligations of the Company with respect to the transaction.
 
Client services revenues include web development and design, creative services, film and video services, marketing services and general business consulting services. For contracts that are of a short duration and fixed price, revenue is recognized when there are no significant obligations and upon acceptance by the customer of the completed project. Revenues on longer-term fixed price contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Services that are performed on a time and material basis are recognized as the related services are performed.
Cost of Sales, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Cost of Revenues
 
Cost of revenues include, event tickets, ticketing and venue fees, shipping and handling fees associated with e-commerce sales, merchandise and royalties paid to clients.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Selling and Administration Expenses
 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses include indirect client related expenses, including credit card processing fees, payroll, travel, facility costs, and other general and administrative expenses.
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Advertising costs
 
Advertising costs, totaling $1,700 and $4,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are included in operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and are charged to expense when incurred.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]
Share-Based Compensation
 
For valuing stock option awards, the Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes Merton option pricing valuation model (“Black-Scholes”). For the expected term, the Company uses a simple average of the vesting period and the contractual term of the option. Volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate during the expected term of the option. For volatility the Company considers its own volatility as applicable for valuing its options and warrants. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The risk-free interest rate is based on the relevant U.S. Treasury Bill Rate at the time of each grant. The dividend yield represents the dividend rate expected to be paid, over the option’s expected term; the Company currently has no plans to pay dividends.
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Concentrations
 
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At June 30, 2013, the Company had balances of approximately $480,000 in these accounts in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. The Company places its cash in stable high credit quality institutions, and management believes that the risk of loss is negligible.
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, revenues from a limited number of clients accounted for approximately 72% and 60%, and 44% and 60%, respectively, of total revenues.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share represents income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income (loss) that would result from the assumed issuance. The potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and warrants, and have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because they would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an anti-dilutive effect.
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, there were approximately 5,026,000 and 6,252,000 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, that were excluded from the diluted loss per share as their effect would have been antidilutive for the periods then ended.
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts in the 2012 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation with no effect on previously reported net loss or accumulated deficit.
