Hi.
I am a private ebayer. I generally buy but am selling off some items I have collected. Most of the items I sell are under £10.00 and I find the fees sometimes make it not worth selling the item especially when items only have 1 bidder and starts at 99p. I am not a business. Does that mean I cannot open a micro account?

Hi casnco,
Welcome to the PayPal community forum.
May I suggest that you consider applying for micropayment. PayPal offer a separate fee structure for Verified Business/Premier merchants who only accept small UK to UK payments.
The fees are 5% + 5p per transaction compared to 3.4% + 20p which is the standard rate.
It is most financially beneficial to you if you accept payments under £9 for accounts with the Micropayment fee structure. For this reason it may be advisable to have a separate account for the small or ‘Micropayments’.
Here’s how you can sign up for micropayment pricing:
- Go to our micropayments website at https://micropayments.paypal-labs.com
- Click ‘Signup.’
- Select the appropriate country.
- Click ‘Login here.’
- Enter your PayPal account password and click ‘Log in.’
Allow 2 business days for the micropayment pricing to take effect.
Note:
Micropayment pricing applies to all transactions regardless of the transaction amount. For example, with micropayments pricing, it would cost 25p to receive a £4 payment and it would cost £1.05 to receive a £20 payment.
I hope you find the information useful and thanks for your post
Paula
