My Small Business Is Taking Off, But I’m Getting Strangled by PayPal—Need a New Payment Method

Hi y’all,

I’m reaching out because my little side hustle has been gaining a lot of traction lately, and I’m starting to feel the pinch with PayPal. Typically, I have one or two clients each month, billing them around 300 to 500€ via PayPal requests. It’s been working fine until now.

In the past two weeks, I’ve billed just over €2000, and suddenly, PayPal has decided to make my life difficult. I’ve noticed that the fees I’m paying are ridiculous—6% on my last transaction! On top of that, they froze half of my payment because I was supposedly over my limit. I had no idea there was a limit since I’ve never exceeded €1800 before. I’ve requested a limit increase, but they said it would take 3-7 days.

I really need to find a better payment method for my clients. Does anyone have recommendations for alternatives to PayPal that are reliable and have lower fees? :blush:

My small business is growing fast, but PayPal is holding me back—I need a new payment method.
