Why use PayPal?
We’ve been using Pay Pal and a regular point of sale module for several years. I find PayPal.com to be more beneficial in several ways. First, they only pull one consistent fee. At the writing of this it is 3.9% and 30 cents per transaction. Google check out is better at 2 percent and 20 cents per transaction but does not allow for recurring payments. Google continues to say it is coming but it never seems to get here. Like most businesses I am left with high priced point of sales modules that charge different fees for different cards plus other strange (hidden) fees that pop up from nowhere. Or, a single point consistent option called PayPal.com.
Other strengths of PayPal are its ability to track well for tax season making it easier on my accountant, allowing for either the seller or the buyer to cancel the transaction without going through hoops and a very easy to use interface and finally they even pay you a little interest through a money market. It accepts all majore credit cards too! My best bet and recommendation to all is go for PayPal.com.
Notice we don’t have a link to PayPal here and we’re not making one dime in referrals. This is a simple unsolicited recommendation to all.
