Could someone please explain to me what I'm missing? Why does some seller care where my money comes from? What's the difference?
It's not *where* your money comes from, it's the fees involved. I know I've explained it in this thread before, but I'll give it another go.
PayPal has two types of accounts: personal and premiere. With a personal account you're able to accept up to $500 a month. You can take bank funds, funds from someone's account, or what's called an eCheck. And you can do these things with no fees.
The premiere account can accept much more money per month (I know there's a limit, but not sure what it is). It's the same as the personal account, with the added benefit of being able to accept credit cards.
The problem is the fees. You're charged a fee for *all* transactions with the premiere account, not just the credit card transactions. And since I'm barely making a profit on these parts, any fees would eat that right up, plus as an added bonus, because the margin is so tight, it would eat into my costs as well, so I'd be *losing* money. I really like you guys, but...
Of course, I can always raise prices, but I don't think anyone wants that, right?
