- NiekvdMaas 16y agoThe 2.5% only applies if you receive in another currency than USD. Usually you request the payment in USD, so the conversion happens on the sender's end. Didn't know about the 1% though, I'm wondering if that still applies as I can't find in on the regular site.
- what 16y agoThe 2.5% actually applies to currency conversion. So as long as your PayPal account currency is the same as the currency that you charge in there should be no conversion? While we're talking about PayPal, if you want to do small transactions there's a special micro payment account with fees of $0.05 + 5%. Works out cheaper for payments < $12. It was hidden somewhere, not sure how I stumbled across it. http://www.paypal.com/IntegrationCenter/ic_micropayments.html http://www.paypal.com/IntegrationCenter/ic_micropayments.htm...
