Anyone who uses Paypal and is Canadian - a question

I'm about to start selling stuff on Ebay, and I'd really like to use the "Require Immediate Payment" option for my BINs, but it says I need to be a Premier Paypal member to do that. I tried to find the fee structure for being a Premier member on PayPal Canada, but I couldn't find anything.

Is there any difference in fees between being a Basic or Premier member of Paypal in Canada?

    I did that switch a long time ago, but I don't think there is any monthly fee or anything to being a premier member. The fees you pay to receive money might be more. I can't remember exactly though.



    Try listing without immediate payment and see if they make you upgrade to premium, because I didn't use immediate payment but I think I still had to upgrade just to sell anything.



    I remember it just kinda linked me right to the upgrade page and had the details right there.



    Sorry, not much help image

    For accepting Paypal on eBay, you pretty much need to have a premier account, whether you require immediate payment, or not. The odds of the buyer paying with a credit card are high, and the fee structure for credit card payments is slightly more forgiving for premier members.



    Keep a "regular" account for doing business here on the forums, since you can do no-fee transactions when you get just funds or echecks, and refuse credit cards.

    Are they accepted as Gifts? I'm curious how you do it.

    ^ Ya, that would have to be a gift. You'll get nailed with fee from ebay and paypal when you sell something on ebay. Example, I just sold a $95 item on ebay and ebay charged me almost $10 and paypal charged me about $3. So I only walk away with $82 image



    But ya, you're gonna have to go with a premier account pretty much any way you look at it.

    That's kinda what I thought.



    But, I guess there's zero difference in fees between being a Premier member and a Personal member when you're from Canada. Which is pretty kickass!
