FWIW, PayPal is splitting their business rates on July 14. Up until now, PP had
two rate structures: Personal (very small volume and free) and business/premier
(larger volume and not free). PP appears to have decided to segment the
business/premier market based on how much volume you do each month. The new
rates break the fee based payment receivers into less than $1000 /mo and $1000
up /mo. I took the two fees and ran them against all the PP payments I have
received thus far to get a rough calculation of the base percentage rate (per
transaction fee and percentage expressed as a pure percentage instead).
For the less than $1000 monthly volume, the rate mentioned is $0.30 + 2.9%. The
calculated effective rate (across the payments I have receved) worked out to
~4.0%
For the greater than $1000 monthly volume, the rate mentioned is $0.30 + 2.25%.
The calculated effective rate (across the payments I have receved) worked out to
~3.4%
YMMV, but food for thought when expecting PayPal payments.
