Guest Bemmer February 22, 2007 Share February 22, 2007 Is there any way to avoid getting charged a fee when someone sends me a payment via Paypal on a personal account? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dzekunoi February 22, 2007 Share February 22, 2007 If you have Premier account you can not avoid fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bemmer February 22, 2007 Share February 22, 2007 If you have Premier account you can not avoid fees. Thanks inna, I just checked the info on the premier account. Unfortunately, they also charge a transaction fee. However, I may have to do it since they limit the number of cc and debit card transactions on a personal account. Still trying to find out where they only charge 3% transaction fee. I see it listed as 5% on their fee schedule. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leishman February 22, 2007 Share February 22, 2007 it's 3% plus a 30 cent processing fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandy7200 February 22, 2007 Share February 22, 2007 it's 3% plus a 30 cent processing fee Yep they are the highest fee clearing house in the nation. Non negotiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CapHillReef February 22, 2007 Share February 22, 2007 You shouldn't be charged a fee for receiving a cash transaction (Receive payments funded by PayPal Balance, PayPal Instant Transfer or PayPal eCheck) if you have a personal account. And I just read that you can now accept up to 5 credit card transactions per 12 month period (albeit at a higher rate) without upgrading your account. I'll keep my two-account setup...

Guest beatle February 23, 2007 Share February 23, 2007 I have two accounts as well. If someone can pay me with their existing Paypal balance or funds their transaction with a bank account, I'll ask them to send it to my personal account. Otherwise it goes to the premier one. They've really gotten bad with fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeltwayBandit February 23, 2007 Share February 23, 2007 There is this other way. It costs 39 cents per transaction and takes a bit longer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
