How to recognize if buyer is paying w/ credit card in Paypal?!?

[Techie333]

I was just wondering how I can recognize if a buyer is paying with a credit card under paypal. Do they only charge you a fee when the buyer uses a credit card? Under payment type, it says "Instant"
Is that what it says when you use a credit card? Thanks.

you'll get hit with fees with all forms of payment if you have a premiere/business acct

Techie333,

Do you have a Personal or Premier/Business Paypal account?

If you upgraded to premeir, then it doesnt matter what form of payment they are sending, you will be charged with fees for any form of payments, CC or not.

once you upgrade to premiere, you get charged for ALL money received?!?!?? EVEN IF ITS BANK ACCOUNT TRANSFER?

Correct and this is why Premier/Business accounts suck but there are two possible alternatives:

1) You're allowed to downgrade your account once.

-or-

2) Open a second Paypal account, make sure that it's the PERSONAL and it must be linked to a different e-mail address and bank account. Most bank's will open a second checking account without a problem. My wife has 3 checking accounts with the same credit union.
first is for her regular checking account
second is for her paypal premier
third is for her paypal personal
