Hello @Russel50,

Welcome to the PayPal Community. 

Unfortunately, the PayPal Here mobile card reader is being depreciated in the Australian market. However, there are other ways that credit card payments can be accepted. You may find QR Code payments, Website Payments Pro, and Invoicing helpful after PayPal Here is no longer available. 

I hope this clears things up.

Only PayPal Here reader and App is disappearing. and with the hike in commission for the remaining PayPal options, I'm checking out alternatives. Zeller, although a big leap up in hardware cost, at 1.4% commission seems to be a good option. Square also offers a $59 simple card reader with 1.9% commission. Any others you've found in Australia?
