I run an online business and I get paid with paypal. Is there a way to avoid the fees involved with the service or a way to at least decrease them?
It depends on the amounts you are transacting, if you're doing low amounts like max $20 then yes (vulnerable for money reversal), if you're doing like over $5k-$20k a month then yes (check it with PayPal), if you're doing just a few thousands a month then no.
