Title: Paypal Question
Post by: Blue Frog Systems on November 24, 2009, 08:39:02 pm: Am thinking of adding paypal as a payment option once i have my website set up

Now ive used paypal for years and know once you get to £1500 deposited into your account in a single year that they take it as illegal money transfer and you have to register as a business (hence having 4 paypal accounts)

How do i go to register for a business account ?
How much do they charge me ?

Im lazy and thought someone could tell me rather than me searching for a few hours :)

Tanks

Paypal will probably contact you for further information.
The costs are explained in their help pages.

Matt

they charge a base 20p / transaction + 3.4% of the transfer.
so, £10 in, they take 54p
£20 they take 88p
