Setting Up Micropayments.

[dscotese]

I found one other thread here by searching for the title of this post, but was unable to post a reply to it.  I visited https://micropayments.paypal-labs.com as a Paypal_Admin suggested, and discovered that it takes a couple days to have your account switched to micropayments.  So I decided to see the "Status page" that is also available, but when I got there, I got the message:

We're sorry, but something went wrong.

We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly.

I signed up for a second Paypal account in order to take advantage of the micropayments fee structure, and chose that option somewhere during the account setup.  I suspect that the important lesson here is that:

Once you opt for micropayments you have to wait a day or two for it to be accepted and take effect.

It would have been nice to know that earlier.  I was looking into it because right after I finished setting up the account, I had a friend make a payment so I could see the different fee, but it was estimated to be the same old 30 cents plus 3%.  Then I had to add a bank account to accept his payment and find out if the estimate would be corrected to show micropayments.  It wasn't.  Becuase I have to wait a couple days first, I guess.

Hi Paypal folks!  Please correct anything wrong with my suppositions.

Dang it Paypal!  I used "You haven't created any settings for making small purchases" as the title of my post, but it got lost somewhere and I forgot to change it back, so where my post says "searching for the title..." I'm talking about this phrase, which isn't the title of the opening post.  DOH!

Anytime I try to actually go to the MicroPayments website to view the information, I can only see what's listed under the main page.  When I click on "Detailed Pricing" or "Sign-Up" the page doesn't change.  I am using Google Chrome and as well tried it in Safari.  Nothing is different.  Is there another way to sign-up for Micropayments?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
