How to avoid PayPal fees, if possible..


I would like to know if it's possible to avoid PayPal fees when accepting CC.

I've a Premier account, and even when someone sends me money with regulard fund (no CC), I've a ~3-4% fee. I think it's normal because my account is Premier, because it's necessarily to accept CC...

So my question is how to avoid PayPal fees when you know your buyer won't use CC ? Do you use two accounts, one standard and one premier ? Or is it possible to come back standard from premier ? So.. how do you manage your PayPal account(s) guys ?

Thanks,
David.

It's not possible to downgrade I believe,

Also, I think paypal doesn't allow you to use two accounts, as they want profit no matter what.

I think your stuck with this profit loss, not sure though

I've heard that if you have two accoutsn they will freeze them.

I agree it's a little more complicated for my little head

If anyone has better solution than that, I'm interesting to hear that

Thanks,
David.

I have two accounts. One personal and one business. I just clarify to the buyer which one to use. I have had to deny funds sent to my personal account (cc that is) but that person resent to my business account. And to answer the other question, yes you can downgrade..only once according to PP. I have done it twice though.

I am sure you have atleast 2 bank accounts. You can use one for personal and one for credit card related transactions!

Didn't dare asking that since two days

Like everyone use PayPal, it's hard to avoid them...
