is it possible to avoid charge from paypal ?
because right now every month my client pay me with paypal 14$ but paypal take $.71 for the fee.

Is it possible to lower the fee or maybe remove the fee

I don't have a doubt that there is a way to remove the % that paypal charges - it can't be free. They are providing you with a service and the small percentage that they take is for the service that they are providing to you...

When you receive payments, PayPal takes a percentage out from there. But when you send payments, it's FREE.

Users that sell on eBay can effectively reduce their fees with the PayPal Debit Card (if they are PayPal Preferred).

personally, i don't think their fees are bad - it's alot less then what you would have to pay per transaction at revecom or 2checkout.

hmm, i guess paypal has a new feature where you don't have to make someone register in order to receive payment for a service? anyone know what kind of member you have to be in order to just directly link to a sign up form at paypal? as well as how i could do this and what the fees are?

thanks

An account must be created to send/receive payments (just wanted to clarify that).

I think you should drop it so people don't have to signup you could have choices. But some of our clients don't like signing up with PayPal because it is a pain. If you only use it to pay for web hosting.

On the topic note there % rate is very decent just like one of the other members said. PaySystem and 2Checkout and is much more.

Paypaldamon,

I have a question: The paypal payment screen has changed (recently) and I do not see an option users (non-registered) can select to pay with their ACH/bank account. This used to be an option previously. Is this not available anymore? I am referring this question with regards to business accounts. When I click on the payment form I see only credit card payment options followed by the confirmation number.

thanks
