what should I do

[ashley15]

Hello good people of blue voda I was wondering I was going to use paypal as an account for people to make a payment on my site well I have heard horror stories about paypal.. I thought it was free but if i get a 0.99 cent payment they take 0.33 cents for themselfs,, I think it is owned by Ebay but I found another site, http://www.free-merchant.com/index.html and I was looking for some advice from the good people of blue voda forum so please help me , Thank You All!!!!!!!

PayPal or Google Merchant are probably one of the safest tools to use on your website.

Nothing is free in life and if you wouldn't have to pay PayPal a little fee they wouldn't be in business, that's how they make their money.

PayPal will only charge you though if you have created a business account. If you use a personal account for your business they won't charge you!

Not quite Jeremy, every payment you receive via paypal from anyone there is a % fee charged, personal or business ...
