My brain has turned to mush, can you take a look at these figures and tell me whether my account has converted or not as I calculate this to be on the full fees and not micro fees.

Total Amount:
£4.04 GBP Fee amount:
-£0.34 GBP Net amount:
£3.70 GBP

I wonder if it is worth trying to change the account again?

Yes its normal fees. I would give it another day if nothing then email micropayments@paypal.com they may be able to help.

I emailed them last night (I'm impatient!) and will email them again today.

I had another payment in last night and that is also on full fees.

Well I am now at the stage of :wall:

I emailed paypal and got two responses from two different people. One told me I had not yet been approved but I would hear within 24 hours, so I responded saying that it had already been over 24 hours. The other email just sent me the link to register, so I responded saying I had already registered.

I then got more emails, again telling me how to check I was registered, that tells me it is still pending' and assuring me it is usually only a matter of a day before the agreement comes through. The other email told me I needed to register.

I am still showing as pending and i've now had 8 or 9 payments through the account all at full fees which is a nuisance as i am now running two accounts (which is against paypal rules).

Mine hasnt worked!:mad:

new account 1 payment of £11, paid 57p fee leaving me £10.43

(i know items over £9.50 dont cost in! before you all bowl me over with the rush)

think its not worked as fees normally 20p + 3.4%...i.e 37p+30 = 57p

it should have been 55p+5p...

damn, what now?

Thanks

I log in here every day and use the 'check my status' button on the second page

https://micropayments.paypal-labs.com/

I'm still not changed over and every time I email them they just tell me I have to wait 2 days from applying, the fact it has been almost a week escapes them.

I'm going to phone today.
