Paypal Here (Square Competitor)
« on: March 18, 2012, 09:33:43 AM »
Paypal is releasing a CC reader - Like Square called the Paypal Here

They will be offering lower fees than Square  - 2.7% and offer taking a pix of card, and key in. (I dunno what the fees on that will be)

If you have a paypal account that you use a lot - this deff will be a nice addition!

Has anyone cashed out GC's w/o getting their accounts flagged or closed?
I'm talking about a few thousand a month.

Paypal Here (Square Competitor)

A little OT, but regarding the paypal fees, I just noticed that if you do a lot of paypal transactions - you are able to get paypal's merchant discount...

Instead of the regular 2.9% + $.30, if you do 3K monthly its 2.5% +$.30, and if you do 10K monthly its 2.2% + $.30 and for 100K its 1.9% + $.30

To sign up, click the fee's link on the bottom of the paypal page.

Judging by the way they work (paypal), it will quite likely be dishonest and corrupt as well...

Doesn't seem like your very fond of PayPal... ;)
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

I don't understand how you guys are not getting blocked on gc redemptions given the bins are indicating all numbers belong to one group.
