Dan, I think Argus is right. When I collected for the wedding gifts I had to open a Paypal acct.. (wow...wonder if it's still active or I can remember pw's?!) anyway, one thing that I found out was if anyone pays with a credit card or your balance transfered in goes over $100 in a month you need the premier acct. I don't recall if 2% is the amount of the fees, it may be that now. I seem to recall it being 1.66 or some weird fraction and that amount is deducted from all transactions coming in...might only be those over $20, I'm not sure.. but Paypal can tell you. In fact if your acct gets more than $100 in a month or someone pays with the credit card, they'll email you about it!

The 2% or whatever it is though is only deducted from what you receive. As far as I could tell there's no upfront/fixed cost to worry about. I would suggest bumping up to premier...with 5000 members based around the world it might be the cheapest and most efficient way to manage donations.

do you need ballons??? I.. I've got loads of them :D

Joke! Must be really hard on you Ziroc.. We will all do what we can!

That's what I meant by there being a limitation on credit card orders. If you use a bank account, it will go through. I think the card feature is $100 a month. I thought it was per transaction, but it may be overall. I do know that I can send to multiple users though and there is a limit of $5000 in that respect (over 6 months). I am not a seller, just a buyer, so don't know it completely.
