Common questions
Assumptions that change the answer
Is this an eBay payment add-on?
No. It models a direct PayPal transaction and must not be stacked onto eBay’s managed-payment fee.
Are EEA and international additions included?
Yes. Choose the EEA or other-international profile that matches the sender region; separate-agreement service fees still require an exact adjustment.
When can I use micropayment pricing?
Only after PayPal application and pre-approval. The rate then applies to commercial payments received into that upgraded account.
Does this include VAT?
The displayed transaction fee follows PayPal’s published merchant table; tax treatment and reclaim are not inferred.
