Buying and Selling with PayPal
Musicians Friend accepts PayPal. You can use PayPal to pay for purchases using your PayPal balance or linked bank account. PayPal typically charges lower fees than Stripe, at 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction. You don’t need a PayPal account to sell on Etsy.
Stores like Sam Ash, Walmart, and Glarry Music enable PayPal for buying instruments and gear. PayPal-friendly stores help when Musicians Friend doesn’t ship to your location.
Selling music platforms like Bandcamp, ReverbNation, and CD Baby integrate with PayPal too. PayPal fees should be included when calculating payments. Accepting alternative payment methods beyond PayPal avoids limiting customers.
