Paypal Micropayments increase profits by 23%

Paypal Micropayments Ive known about paypal micropayments for a while, but when I first heard about it, I didnt think you could switch from an old paypal account to a new micropayment. Now you can. Whats the difference? Standard Paypal Fees PayPal charged a minimum transaction fee of 30 cents plus 2.9%. Paypal Micropayment Fees The Mircopayment option raises the percentage to 5% but lowers the fee to just 5 cents . That changes the net profit on a  $.99 cent direct sale to $.89 cents vs. $.66 under the old PayPal option.  Sell  just one hundred two or three song bundles and the total PayPal transaction costs drop from $36 to $15. To find out more about Paypal micro payments go to is show #238 originating from www.musicianscooler.com Amazon.ccom One Off CDs with Create Space It costs you $4.95 for one CD, but if you only need a few CDs this beats ordering hundreds and turning them into coasters. If you sell your music via download they charge 15% and if you sell the Cd at amazon.com they take 45% (ouch). As some people completely trust amazon.com they may purchase off of amazon.com when they may not off a lesser known website.
