Paypal micropayments

[billsstamps]

Paypal have an option for micropayments, which charges less for item payments less than £4 including P&P.

It seems, for the UK at least, that the option is only available when you are selling items from your own website, and cannot be used for Ebid.

Has anyone found differently?

Bill, I'm sure I signed up for the micropayment option on the other side.

In fact, it was recommended on one of the boards over there.

I certainly didn't experience all that palaver otherwise I would have given up.
However, I have just looked at my PP account and can find no way of seeing if I was actually registered for micropayments.

I signed up when it was on the forum a while ago, went through no problem, use it on ebid . the only time abit more is taken
is when it is foreign currency, does save money.

I have been trying to subscribe to micropayments, but the paypal website just comes up with ERROR.

I had given up, however, today I received an email:

I have had exactly the same problem. I got the same Email about an hour ago, checked my PayPal Account.
The last 3 payments recieved have been at the 5% + 5p Micropayment rate.

Great for the low cost items I sell.
