Not everyone knows, but there is a separate fee structure for PayPal for "micro transactions".
These fees follow a different rate than the normal rate at: 5% plus $0.05 compared to the standard rate of 2.9% plus $0.30.
What does this mean?
This means that smaller transactions dont have to pay such a large flat rate fee. Imagine taking in a $0.50 payment when your flat rate fee is $0.30... thats a 60% fee just on the flat rate!
Whats the practical application?
Practically speaking, it means you can pay less fees for any payment received that is less than ~$12
Show me the numbers!
As you can see anything under $11.51 you will pay less fees if you setup a micro transaction account. The catch is; you can only pick one fee structure per account, so you need to manage two accounts to take advantage of this. But would you leave money laying on the street??
