Thank you for your reply and advice, not sure what micro payments are will have to find out more,

Micro payments are best if your items are below about £8.50 higher than that normal payments are best.

It is possible to set up 2 accounts with paypal, one for each type, you can then specify on your invoice which account it goes to.

i.e sell 1 item at £5.00 best going to micro payment account
sell 2 items at £5.00 best going to standard account.

This assumes that the buyer waits for an invoice. so always use the best account on your listings, you can change it on the invoice if you need to.

I use twitter to help along with for example i sell football programme's i use football programme forum to also promote stuff on here, i think this site is far user friendly than the rival's i were taking losses on eBay then i questioned PayPal to add Micro-payments to my account they had no problem in doing and should be active very soon which will mean i save some sort of money, also been told Facebook is a very handly tool to promote this place aswell and also plug my auction's atleast once a day and keep people updated

instead of paying 30p per transaction on PayPal you'd only pay 5p Per Transaction on PayPal

Whats the rates/fees for micropayments?

When I signed up for micropayments the fees were, and I am not aware of any changes

Micropayments 5% + 5p per transaction
Standard 3.4% + 20p per transaction

so selling something for £5.00 would result as
Micropayment 5% of £5 = .25p + 5p = 30p
Standard 3.4% of £5 = .17p + 20p = 37p

From memory the actual changeover point is £8.50 I think
