I rarely gross over $100,000 / month but it has always been a critical number to shoot for as the merchant rate goes from 2.2% to 1.9%. I enjoyed this rate in the summer of 2010 when I was getting good sales. I made the $100k mark last month - however, my January transactions are at 2.2%. I double checked my summer 2011 sales where I did over $100k and those months are all 2.2%. I rechecked the fee schedule page and paypal is saying to contact them if your sales are over 100k. Gonna do that now but sigh - we're talking about thousands of dollars year I've missed out on. I didn't even realize this until I pulled my yearly financial summary and noticed my payment fees for 2011 were more than 2010 despite a smaller sales volume. Why didn't I get the 1.9% ?
