Pay Per Post and Paypal

I have a question, if you signed up with PPP, you will need a paypal account. For those who already had received fundings from PPP, does Paypal take off a percentage of your received fund as a service charge?

I currently have a "BUSINESS" paypal account which I used for ebay purposes. That account allows credit card payments from my buyer which if I have a Personal account only 5 credit cards transactions are allowed for a period of 12 months. But with the "Business" account, even if my buyer pays using their checking account, I will be charged for the 1.9% of the total payment received + 30cents transaction fee. But if I have a "Personal" account, funding received thru checking / bank account is free.

I am wondering if I should sign up another account with Paypal just for PPP only. Not even sure if Paypal allows a second account with a different email address. Anyway, all comments are appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Ya, you are right. The other day when I transferred the money to my BIL who is an ebay seller, my money got deducted. Really a bummer!

We do not get deducted for personal account but I dunno whether you can sign up for another one. Keep me posted, I'll like to know too. Thanks!

I guess u've got it sorted out by now, Anna. But just in case, I hv a Paypal biz a/c too and gets charged for whatever funds that comes in. I signed up for another Paypal personal a/c with a different email address (a gmail one) and have received PPP funds as well as trasferred funds from my biz a/c to the personal a/c, without any fees deducted. I think Paypal allows more than one a/c per person ... bcoz I also hv another personal Paypal a/c which for the life of me, I could not remember the password *LOL* thus I set up the gmail addy one
