Hello,
I'm reading through the PayPal User Agreement in section 8 dealing with Fees. We're thinking of using PayPal as our 3rd party payment gateway/merchant account. (specifically, PayPal Website Payments Standard). What does section 8.6 mean when it states:
PayPal Business Payment Fee. PayPal shall apply the following fee to each PayPal Business Payment:
Activity PayPal Business Payment Fee
Sending or receiving* $0.50 USD per transaction
* The PayPal Business Payment fee is paid by the recipient unless it is disclosed to you before you send the
payment that you, the sender, must pay this fee.
My question: Is someone ALWAYS going to be charged $0.50 USD or is just for sending money and not for purchases from my website?
(I notice that this very question was in a few external forums too.)
Thanks.
