If I buy of a site who's payment is USD and then I convert to GBP I get different rates of different sites. I.E. I used expedia to convert $122.54 into GBP which came to £72.97. If I use XE.com the GBP is £74.33.

Also when I changed the price on the site from USD to GBP that came to £81.05 If I sell something I don't want to rob myself if you know what I mean.

When you receive a payment from someone via mass pay,
does it say on your overview page that its a mass payment in the 'type column'

If Im selling something to a few people - not via an auction site or online store - just to people I know via the internet/forums etc - is it OK for them to pay me as 'Gift'?

If a few people do this, would it cause any trouble??

my 2 options are....

1. to send a copy of every code out by recorded delivery so paypal will cover me against chargebacks

2. find a payment solution that will deliver my codes automatically and protect me against chargebacks as they have sent the codes on my behalf or have a service such as ejunkie that will send the codes for me but give online proof to the payment service so i will not suffer consequences of chargebacks and not have to spend valuable profit on postage for a slip of paper the size of a credit card

20 minutes later i get a phone call from the guy saying the amounts will be refunded to my account:dance::niceone:

so know he advises that to be covered in the future i have to post every code out at my own cost of £1.14 per code!! as i only make £4 profit on a 12 month code and if i sell a 1 month code i basically will make the cost of postage I am forced either to sell just the 12 month codes or find a cart solution that will protect me from chargebacks for digitally delivered goods! is there a cart/service that will do this or is it time to throw in the towel and start trading in tangible goods???

the last few days have been quite frustrating and a little bit depressing to be honest so any help you guys can offer would be great:cool: ]]> Payment and Shipping Discussion paulstanden http://www.thewholesaleforums.co.uk/forum/payment-and-shipping-discussion/72082-carried-yesterday-xbox-codes-need-posted-now.html http://www.thewholesaleforums.co.uk/forum/payment-and-shipping-discussion/72065-courier-and-packaging-used-shipping-products.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:13:51 GMT I'm in the process of setting up my e-commerce business. At present time, my gross profit would be anything from £1-£5.

Some of the products are bulky though. Can you recommend what packaging materials do you use and from what company do you purchase (boxes, tapes etc...)

Also, I'm confuse as to how much customers should be charge for postal and courier service. ]]> Payment and Shipping Discussion onlineretail http://www.thewholesaleforums.co.uk/forum/payment-and-shipping-discussion/72065-courier-and-packaging-used-shipping-products.html http://www.thewholesaleforums.co.uk/forum/payment-and-shipping-discussion/71950-paypal-merchant-rate-pricing-tips-apply-lower-transaction-costs.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:55:47 GMT This is prompted by a phonecall I had over the weekend from a friend who is doing a similar thing to me.

We got talking about working out paypal fees and it soon became apparent that I was paying less then him in Paypal fees.

I've looked around here and a lot of people are talking about 3.4% which is the standard fee however it is possible to get your fees down.

Once you cross a certain threshold you are eligible to receive the "merchant rate", however in true paypal style this is not automatic and has to be applied for.

Log into your paypal account and type into the help/search bar "merchant rate" this will take you to a page which will tell you more.

If you are accepted (not hard) then it will come into effect immediately.

hopefully this will save some of you some money.

although not massive - it all adds up. ]]> Payment and Shipping Discussion TSP http://www.thewholesaleforums.co.uk/forum/payment-and-shipping-discussion/71950-paypal-merchant-rate-pricing-tips-apply-lower-transaction-costs.html
