Thank you so much for your reply. Makes sense. This would be us being the merchant and a customer making a payment to us. I'm trying to figure out how much in fees are deducted per transaction when a customer makes a purchase through paypal. I have the paypal api integrated into our website. If a customer wants to make a credit card purchase using Visa, MC, Discover or Amex, we try to direct them to our merchant account which has lower fees. We give them the option of using paypal because it was requested by the client we created the site for. I'm familar with way the merchant processing works, just not paypal implementation of it. What I'm looking for is how much in fees is deducted from the purchase price if someone comes through using their paypal account to make payment? Is it always 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction whether they persons uses a credit card or funds in their paypal account? The documentation seemed to imply that if a customer uses their paypal account for the purchase as opposed to a credit card, there would be no fees charged to us, the merchant for the transaction. This seemed a little odd, because I would assume that every transaction would be charged no matter how the payment is made, whether from a credit card or via funds in the customers paypal account. I just needed some sort of clarification, details or verification how this process works with paypal. Does this makes sense? Thanks, Carl
