Paypal Question

PayPal's fees aren't that bad if you need to accept credit cards... Most merchant accounts are just as much or more than their percentages.

But if you get a really big payment.. it does hurt..

Well if you ever want to have use of a CC or any kind of electronic transaction, then there really isn't any way to avoid fees. Might as well leave all options open as people are pretty lazy =D

Well I haven't got a cent to my paypal account yet so it haven't bothered me...Still haven't really figured out how the whole thing works :P

You don't have to have money in your paypal account. You can link transactions from your bank or CC, and they act as the middle people.

I have like 400 USD in my account but I can't use it since I don't have it hooked up to a bank account or credit card or anything. The money isn't really why I do client work, anyways, so I don't mind. I do it more just because its fun and good experience.

And no the fees aren't bad. I got charged $3.20 on a $100 payment. And there is a reason for it - I'm not sure if its valid or not - but its not just like the PayPal people are going out and buying beer with all my credit card fees.
