I have an ecomerce store and want to downgrade my account..

Pay by paypal is the option for payment... we use it to take credit and debit card payments.

I dont want ot pay the £20 monthly fees... I understand there is another option of paying just £0.20 per order... is this true??

If so can I downgrade?

Hi Leecass,

It sounds to me that you have website payments standard or pro as a service when receiving payments, is that correct?

The only way that you would be charged anything near £0.20 GBP per order would be if you are receiving minimal amount per transactions on your account.

PayPal offer a separate fee structure for Verified Business/Premier merchants who only accept small UK to UK payments.

The fees are 5% + 5p per transaction compared to 3.4% + 20p which is the standard rate. For Cross-Border payments you will be charged 6% + 5p.

It is most financially beneficial to you if you accept payments under £9 for accounts with the Micropayment fee structure. For this reason it may be advisable to have a separate account for the small or ‘Micropayments’.

Here’s how you can sign up for micropayment pricing:

1. Go to our micropayments website at https://micropayments.paypal-labs.com
2. Click ‘Signup.’
3. Select the appropriate country.
4. Click ‘Login here.’
5. Enter your PayPal account password and click ‘Log in.’

Allow 2 business days for the micropayment pricing to take effect.

Please note:

Micropayment pricing applies to all transactions regardless of the transaction amount. For example, with micropayments pricing, it would cost 25p to receive a £4 payment and it would cost £1.05 to receive a £20 payment.

I hope this helps,

David.
