Any Paypal Premier Users?

[HiTek21]

I was selling my dvd player on Ebay and I specified that i only accept "Non Credit Card Paypal or Money Orders" now this guy who won the auction sent me a credit card paypal payment. I told him that I did not have a premier account and denied his payment, next day he sends me the same thing only with 10 dollars more saying he'll pay for the fee. I still have to upgrade my account to premier to accept it and there are fees I have to pay for it. Does this mean I have to pay a fee everytime I accept a payment even the non credit card payments or is it just for the credit card payments. I need some advice.

Thanks in advance

Every payment you receive PayPal gets a cut if you upgrade.... cash or credit....

correct 2.9% + 30 cents.

You can change back from a premeer account once though.

yes

if you do a lot of online stuff, upgrade your current account and then create a new personal account, then you can have people send CC payments to the premier account and non-CC payments to the new personal account (that doesn't get hit with the % )


or if you don't sell that much, just tell the guy no

Doh! I don't sell much on ebay so I don't really use my paypal account.

Well thanks for the advice guys, I'll just tell him to send Money Order.

its 2.2 % + 30 cents if you take in more than $1000 a month.

what sucks is if you are premier even echecks get charged the fee.

You'd likely need two credit cards and two bank accounts to do this...Paypal only allows you to use each pair on one account.
