Thread direct paypal link fee?

[BringBacklink]

As we all know paypal (Goods/services) charges 2/3% of each transaction and fnf trax is free
My question is when we use paypal button or link within marketplace thread does paypal charge 2%/3% from every order?
pupose for asking this question I am creating an online form to receive order details should i integrate paypal button to thar order form OR receive payment by showing my paypal email from every client as fnf? because no one wants to pay 2 or 3 percent as service charges.

can payer pay through paypal link as fnf ? or not?

I would never buy a service and pay via FNF. I highly doubt you could setup your payment link that way

The fees are a cost you have to accept as a business owner

If you accept/ask for FnF payments as a seller, PayPal will find it out sooner than later. A high percentage of FnF payments will trigger a review and you'll get the boot.

Oh it means paypal looks services/goods transactions less suspicious then fnf ones, but one question that blinks in my mind i have personal paypal (non-business) is it okay to get marketplace payments through personal paypal's button/ Link? I mean to say if paysepal personal allows us to take multiple payments and use their buttons and links then what is paypal business for?

This is what people don't understand. I'd rather spend some money on fees rather than dealing with the limitation issues we all know.

About OP's question: obviously you can't setup a button for fnf payments, however you can setup a button for donations (which will be counted for what they are: donations). If you are going to sell goods or services you may aswell use the dedicated payment option/buttons.

PayPal offers 3 account types:

• Personal: Recommended for individuals who shop and pay online, or wish to send or receive personal payments for shared expenses such as splitting of dinner bills or rental charges.
• Premier: Recommended for casual sellers or non-businesses who wish to get paid online, and who also make online purchases.
• Business: Recommended for merchants who operate under a company/group name. It offers additional features such as allowing up to 200 employees limited access to your account and customer service email alias for customer issues to be routed for faster follow-ups.

In translation: it depends on the volume, but if you make regular sales, you're a business and you'll need a business account.

My question is still there. all the sellers who putted Paypal payment link in their threads are all Paypal (Business) account holders?

The Premier account type is a step above the Personal account, it's as described above, you can make occasional sales besides using for buying mainly. You can update a Personal account to a Premier one easily, but according to PayPal, not all account types are available in every country. It wasn't yesterday when i did the upgrade, but it was an easy process.

As far as your other question goes, the answer is that those links, "Buy Now" or "Add to Cart" buttons can be generated with Premier accounts too. So some of the sellers may use a Premier and not a Business account.

If i am supposing to get 80 to 100 sales per month should i convert to OR is it okay to make paypal.me link in sales thread and pay 2, 3 percent fee to paypal and stay with personal pp account?

Depends on how you want to be seen by your customers. A paypal.me link can be set up with a custom profile pic and a cover photo. The link can be customized too, but it will have your PayPal name on the page.

You can set up the paypal.me link by enabling buyer protection too. I personally think this works better than trying to add a Buy Now or Add to Cart button, as customers can still use a credit card for payments.

I only have a personal account, but I can use it for business sales with my paypal.me link.

I mostly sees in sales threads when click on them the page redirect to paypal login ,, what is that thing? a paypal.me link or anyo other integration method?

The paypal.me link is just that, a link that takes users to a custom payment page. Users would need to log into PayPal if they want to pay that way. Otherwise they can choose another payment method, like a credit card.

A paypal.me link looks like 'paypal.me/example.'

You should have the option to create a paypal.me link from your dashboard or profile in settings.
