So far, my sales through paypal have taken on fees that are acceptable. I don't count the ebay fees cuz it's a separate thing. With the Tornado Alley EFS, and an internet gateway company, merchant fees, and Visa and Mastercard getting their big ole slice of the pie it's over 3 times as high as going through paypal.. Unless of course there are some surprise fees coming from paypal after the transaction.

And yep, as soon as the money hits the paypal account, I withdraw them. Plus, I signed it up with a separate bank account that I don't keep a lot of money in.

Thanks Guys
