Some advice please.

I run a very very busy facebook group. It is a specialist group. I would rather not say what etc as chances are there are members of this site that frequent my group.

I have an on-line shop set up that can post the ads placed in it straight into my facebook group. I charge small businesses to do this as I am sick and tired of them spamming my page and getting free advertising.

I was going to ban them altogether when my mate suggested doing the shop and charging a small fee for it. So I have given them the option of either using it or join other groups and post there. I am not fussed either way TBH.

Of course there have been a few complaints but the majority are fine with it and intend to register and create their own shop.

The thing is, all payments go through paypal. Of course this incurs charges. If you couple them at around 5 - 6% + my percentage that comes to 10%. Still cheaper then ebay and many other sites.

Anyway i was thinking to reduce costs rather then the takings going into my paypal. Can I open a business bank account and have the takings go in there..? Does anyone know what the charges are compared to paypal and would it be an easy thing to implement on my website?.
