I've read the page about signing up for micropayments, and for some reason something seems to be missing.  It states that it will process all payments coming through the account at the 5% + .05 cents.  Whats not making sense to me is that there isn't a posted limit as to what is considered a micropayment minimum amount or maximum amount?  So, from what I am taking away from this is I can have one account that will process all payments made to me no matter how big or how small at the 5% + .05 cents rate.  If any one can elaborate on this topic it will be greatly appreciated. ...

How does pay pal round when they are figuring out fee's.  In the "A Sample IPN Message and Response" example they have an item that cost $19.95 with a fee of .88 cents.  Now, when you do the math on this problem you find out that (19.95 x .029) + .30 = 0.87855  so I was wondering how far out does paypal go to determine when they will round up on a fee and when they will leave it at that current number.  Because when you do the math on this example the difference between .88 -.87855 = 0.00145, now if you take 0.00145 and run that over a couple of thousands of transactions, you'd be getting **bleep**ed out of a nice piece of change because pay pal is rounding up on transactions these transactions.  Any information about pay pals rounding policies will be greatly appreciated. ...
