its a very good system, and very handy. but here's what I did just so I could rest easy. they will want a bank acc #. soooo I went to my bank and opened another account and put $50.00 in it. I use that account only for paypal. I use online banking so if I want to buy something using Paypal I go online and transfer that amount of money from my regular account to my (special) account. and if I collect money I do the reverse. I never keep more than $50.00 in the special account. everyone claimes Palpal is safe, but I like to be sure...
Excellent idea, kgadley1..... minimizes the potential for serious loss. I have a credit card with an $800 limit for the same reason.
I think the seller pays for using paypal right?
How much does that cost?
If they have a merchant account, seller pays 3% of the incoming transaction to Paypal. (might be 2.9%, been a while).
The seller gets charged a percentage fee for accepting paypal payments. The percentage varies.
It's been quite awhile since I received any funds (although donations are welcome any time! ), but I thought that the fee only applied if you withdrew the cash. If you spent it on other paypal transactions, you got to use it all.
Yes , the merchant pays (around 2.3%) just as if you were accepting any credit card.
