We need help and advice on who to choose! We currently host an online dog photo contest called "Best In Show" as one of the services of our site www.astralenterprise.com
The problem is we wanted to make the contest $0.50 but Paypal will charge us 30 cents per transaction. We know this because we used one of our other accounts to make a payment of 50 cents and our business account got charged 36 cents. So we could not make the price that low.
Now Paystone realizes that businesses have products or services that are priced at $5.00 or less so they only charge you 10 cents per transaction. The only problem is people do not know Paystone that well so they are reluctant to open an account.
Currently to give people an incentative to use Paystone we have added in our rules page ( www.astralenterprise.com/rules.htm )that If paying by Paypal the fee is $2.00 like it has always been, but if paying by Paystone the fee is $1.00
We have also posted a paragraph as to why the difference in fees. Please offer some kind of advice or if you know of another site similar to Paypal or Paystone let us know.
