Hello,

I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out if the cutoff is still US$12.00
for optimal micropayments with the new paypal rates.

Any mathletes out there who can shed some light?

I do appreciate it very much.

You pay less with micro transactions if they are US $28.69 or less, at that
point it starts to oscillate between the two fee structures being more or less
equal up until US$29.30 where the new standard fee is less.

This is my first time replying to one of these so I'm hoping I'm doing
it right lol. A few people tried it out and found that micropayments has dynamic
pricing, which means that PayPal automatically uses the fee that gives you back
the most money.

Hi, just to check my understanding. If one enables micropayments, given that
PayPal should choose the best rate for the seller, should one set the cutoff
in bricklink to a very high value such that all transactions are directed to
the micropyaments account? Thanx.
