Slightly lower rate for direct credit/debit card payments without PayPal account.
QR Code Payments (2.29% US)
Lowest rate, intended for in-person transactions via QR code display.
Micropayments
Higher percentage (4.99-5%) but lower fixed fee - better for transactions under $10-12.
Friends & Family
No fees for domestic transfers, but not allowed for goods/services - violates PayPal terms and removes buyer/seller protection.
