Thread: Paypal Virtual Terminal questions

Hello eveyone, I run an online retail company and ebay is a huge percent of our sales. I took a look at the paypal virtual terminal to accept CCs and I was wondering if anyone uses it, and if they get many customers through paypal that use CCs instead of just regular paypal? It has like a $30/month fee and they take a percent of the sale, but my biggest concern is that so many customs just have a paypal account with a cc attached to it so the virtual terminal would be of no use.

Opinions, suggestons, or any stories or experience with the service would be greatly appreciated.

Don't do it. You can do that for free.

1. Login to your paypal account
2. Click on Merchant Services
3. Click on Buy It Now Button
4. Fill out the info and make sure it is on "use my primary email address"
5. Click on Create Buttom
6. Copy the URL and send it to the customer. They can use that link and pay with a credit card there. You can also do that and send the link to yourself and use their credit card info.

Exactly

yep! go merch!
