Paypal Button on Website

[Guest]

Hi,

Is there a way to put a Paypal Buty Button on my Website which has Lower
transaction Fees to paypal ? What type of paypal account should I get that
has either low fees or no fees, but still have the Paypal pay button on my
Website. Thanks

Not a Frontpage issue.....ask Paypal.

Visit www.paypal.com it outlines all their accounts and the fees involved
(something like 0.05c per sale transaction (not a purchase transaction).

All PayPal transactions have a fee. There is no button that will get you
lower fees as they're all set standardly by PayPal. You need to go through
the information at PayPal to see which type of button you need. They only
have one program for buy me now buttons so there's no way to get a different
fee than what they are charging, and you'll never ever find a free buy now
button anywhere as it costs them money to process the transaction. If
someone does offer you free transaction processing without you spending lots
of money don't do it as they're likely harvesting information as they have
to get paid for the transaction somehow.

Usually you will need a merchant account to sell on PayPal. You can sell
some things through PayPal service using a regular account, but I believe
youa re limited in the tools and buttons you can use and you can only make
about $400 per month in PayPal transactions before requiring a merchant
account.

Hope this helps,

That being said, to my post below this additional info:

PayPal is a Free service; you only pay when a sale is made, there is no
mothly ongoing fee for the priviledge of just having an account. If you're
worried about fees, then adjust your prices to take these into
account....make it an additional cost like postage & handling - add in an
"administrative" fee to the cost of your products.

If you're purchasing using PayPal, you don't pay a fee, it is the seller's
end that gets charged the fee and even then it's only 3% of the sale or
something.

A sale of $200 would have a fee of say 0.06c - hardly anything.

3% of $200 has always been $6.00, never $0.06 (except when not using
maths. based on the decimal system.)

yes, but it's still cheaper than opening your own merchant account.
