PayPal Question

by Vrs

When setting up merchant accounts in PayPal they require you to set the price range of the products you'll be selling. Unfortunately you're not able to select more than one range.

What if you're selling a complete range of products, say an ebook for $9.95 all the way up to a $2,500 set up charge on a new offline account - with monthly maintenance of $500?

In that case you're not able to choose a single range that encompasses all your potential sales.

e.g. one range may be "under $25" and another "$25-$100", another $100-250"; "$250-500, etc.,etc., etc. (don't know the actual ranges without looking them up, but you get the point)

Will PayPal ever flag your account if you select a price range and then consistently have sales outside of that range?

I haven't had a problem so far but it's on my mind ...

Anyone know from experience if there's a best way to approach this?

    You can create a button for each product. They have an 'add to cart' button so people can still keep shopping and pay at the end.

      Thanks Sadie, not what I was referring to though. I'm not referring to the product buttons. I'm asking about the account settings when you sign up for a PayPal merchant account. They ask you to give ONE answer to a whole range of options. I sell within most of those ranges so I was wondering which of them is the best to choose if you can only choose one? (lower or higher?)

      i.e., What criteria do they use to think an account may be processing business different than they said they would when creating the account, or that they should do something about it?

    Higher is better, but don't go too high.

    I have sold a WSO and it never effected my account. If you do a major product release and you expect a lot of traffic into your paypal account, there is a point where your account will automatically get triggered to be put on hold. The best way to go about this, is if you plan on doing a ton of transactions and having thousands and thousands coming into your account, then you need to call paypal and talk to someone in charge in the risk management department.

    If you plan on doing under 3-5K suddenly through WSOs or other products like that, then don't worry about.
