Paypal

I recentally got my quota of accepting credit card payments over paypal (2 a year) so i upgraded to a premium account, now i seem to be getting fees for every payment comming in. Is this normal? I never had fees before from all paypal receipts.

Maybe all the last payments were via credit cards? How can i find out if something way paid in direct from a paypal (which i though was no fee) or a credit card?

That's what a premium account does. Charges you fees on everything so you can accept a lot of card payments.

Oh, how can i cancil the premium thing? I thought i had to upgrade because i was only allow to accept 2 credit card payments a year. Credit card and direct paypal payments are different arnt they?

Basically, you'll hardly ever receive payments that are purely from Paypal. They're nearly always coming off a card.

So now im premium i get a fee for normal paypal transactions as well as credit cards?

Yup.

Now at Ebay you will pay to list, pay to sell, and pay to recieve the payment.

So can i change back to a normal account?

You can only change back once, did it my self and i am now back on the premium account due to payments via credit charge.
If you sell a lot you are probaly better off staying put as you will only end up moving back to premium due to the amount of people paying by card.

p.s. its is a bit of a pain having to pay paypal as well.

i don't know whether you can change back but i don't see what the point would be... you'd be left with accepting the paypal fees or not being able to accept at all. I also vaguely remember the normal limit be pretty ridiculous, something like 2 a year which is why i upgraded.

Bah sucks to pay fees

, selling media on ebay seems like a right rip off after adding everything together (as i found out after my last clear out of games)

I really need to get a job at paypal. They must rake in the money.

To tell you the truth paying 91p out of £21.01 is totally scandless.
I think ill stick to car boot sales in the future.

Do i also now need to pay a fee to put money into paypal from my bank account?

That would be one option.
A car boot sale however very rarely puts the item you are attempting to sell up in front of a hundred thousand or so potential buyers.
