Paypal allows you to receive $1,000 a month for free, and doesn't allow you to take credit cards. If you want to take cards or receive over $1,000 a month you need a premier account which is 0.35 plus 3% per transaction. All those people in for classifides are trying to charge an extra 3% or so if you pay with paypal which is against there rules.

I wish they (the sellers) would just add the 3% into their asking price. The is especialy true for people who basicly demand PayPal only. If you don't want to suck up the fee then suck up the fact that you wont get the money as fast (MO's).

Hey... $1000 a month. Is that the limit completely, or you can only have $1000 in the account at one time.

If I cant make more than $1000 in transfers a month im gonnan need to upgrade pretty quick... macro among other things is going up for sale REAL REAL soon. Like, this weekend soon...

i have never charged anyone the paypal fee. i see it as the price of getting my money faster. i also dont do business with people that charge the paypal fee.

I just build the 3% into my shipping fees. Generally ends up covering 80-90% of the 3% as you need to make a pretty good guess as to what the final sale price will be.

Usually I just add it to the shipping price. Most people I deal with don't have complaint about paying it.

If I make a premier account can I still take regular Email payments like with a regular account? Im going to need to do make a premier account so I can accept and withdraw more money... (hint... I have more macroline here than you could ever know what to do with ;))
