| back story: Some, or many, sellers here have monthly fees due to BL that are
less than $12. For PP payments of less than $12, BL would keep more money by
having a second PP fee payment account for smaller payments.
The BL system could easily look at the amount the seller is sending, and direct
to the PP account with the best fee rate. Please add a second BL PayPal account,
one that uses micropayments.

When I paid my BL fees, it said "Ship To address". Doesn't sound like a service
payment to me.

Maybe Admin should look into that.

It's intentional to be a check against what the seller has for their registered
address.

I assume that Bricklink gets the discounted merchant rate from paypal, so the
cutoff would be $8.93 rather than $12 for a lower rate with micropayments. It
could still be worth considering though, but it won't be providing huge savings.

Isn't the cut off for BL fees when it gets to $10 or more?

For non-US sellers yes. Sellers in the US pay fees if their total owed is $5
or more.
