Is there anyway to accept credit card payments thru paypal

[madman300]

I would like to accept 2 CC payments thru paypal but I dont want to loose 3% of every transaction with the business account. Is there anyway I can switch, accept payment and switch back? Losing only the % on the 2 CC transactions

Yes. You are allowed to downgrade once.

Fyi, you are allowed to have one premier account and one personal.

This is what my wife does and it works perfectly.

She has TWO Paypal accounts.

CC - premier/business account

Non cc - personal

How exactly do you go about doing this?
Sign up twice using different e-mail address?

Use two different e-mail addresses and bank accounts.

My wife's credit union gladly opened a 2nd checking account for her, took about 5 minutes.

Oops I forgot one more piece of information

Can I have a PayPal Personal and a Premier/Business Account?

You also need a separate credit card.

what about the name ont he account though, i had to make up a fake first name just to open a paypal account because the first time i did so it was for one of those "make $ to surf the net" dealies and they wanted me to fax them bank info, and a buncha other crap just to reset the password so i made up a first name.

She used her real name, mailing address, and phone number for both accounts it worked just fine.

I just have a premier acct with my CC hooked up to it, and then my personal with my bank hooked up to it.

So when I get CC's, I accept the xfer using my premier acct, then send the money over to my personal to withdraw to bank. (it's Paypal funds by then, not CC funds). If it's Non-CC to begin with then it goes straight to my personal acct, then to the bank.

CC > Premier > xfer to Personal > Bank
Non-CC > Personal > Bank

Works fine for me.

CC > Premier > xfer to Personal > Bank

from the Preimier > xfer to personal

do u take a hit of any paypal fee ?

I have a premier account set up right now for my wife's small business. However if I sell anything to anyone can't I SPECIFICALLY say "NO CC payments"? Don't I only get charged if the buyer uses a CC? If they use bank xfer etc I dont think I get charged.

If you have a premier account you get charged for EVERYTHING. Thats why people don't want to upgrade, and why most people who need to accept credit card payments have a seperate account just for those.

Ok... no biggy to me. The ~2% on stuff I sell personally Im not going to lose sleep over. If I was buying/selling a ton of stuff, maybe. But its pretty few and far between for me.

Thanks
