I saw a lot people on ebay doesn't like to take credit card payment from PayPal, because there is a major fee that associate with it ?

And any ebay veteran here know how much fee would ebay + paypal(cc payment) took off from you, oh let say if you sell something like $400 ? thx ;]

It's a percentage of your final selling price. Around 3% or so.
Calculate 400 * 0.03, and that's how much they take. Just take it. You open yourself up to a lot more buyers that way, that will more than make up for the price of the item had you sold it without offering taking CC.

To take CC payments. you need a premier account. Fees incurred are 3% + 30 cents from every payment recieved, though there are other benefits.

3% Paypal fee with a premier/business account to accept CC payments. I do notice you get more bids though. In addition, if you wanted, you could sign up for a Paypal debit card, and it gives you 1.5% cashback on any purchase anywhere, which helps to offset fees, depending on how much you spend and how much you sell through eBay.

I have a business card with the cash back debit card. Most of the money passing through my account if from my bank, so I'm essentially stealing from PayPal.

Standard Paypal Premier account fees for accepting money are:

2.9%+ $0.30 USD, so that's 2.9% of the sale PLUS an additional 30 cents.


I, too, use their debit card all over the place.....the instant cash back comes in nicely sometimes, esp. for larger ticket items.


And, as for your last question, a regular Paypal account cannot accept a CC Paypal payment.....you'd have to have the Premier account to do that.

Correct, only Premier/Business Paypal accounts can send credit card Paypal payments.

If you decide to upgrade to a Paypal Premier/Business account remember that you will be charged fees for ALL incoming Paypal payments. So even if someone sends you a non-cc Paypal, fees are STILL deducted from it.

You are able to have both types of accounts, that's the way I would go. You just need to use a different email address, bank account and credit card. Use your real name, address and phone number.
