What is Mass Payment?

Mass Payment allows you to send money to one or more recipients. With Mass Payment transactions, the sender pays the transaction fee, not the receiver. The current transaction fee for Mass Payment is 2% per payment, with a maximum of $1.00 per payment. There are two ways to use Mass Payment:

1. You can submit Mass Payments directly from your PayPal Premier or Business account by uploading a data file with the payment information.

2. You can programmatically access Mass Payment using the MassPay API.

The official page describes how to implement Mass Payment using the PayPal API, just follow this link:

Notes:

1. Mass pay can be made only from a Premier/Business account, not from Personal accounts. Paypal does not charge incoming payments from balance to private accounts.

2. If we expected from our deal using Mass Payment, and Buyer MUST send payment using Mass Pay. Otherwise, please add 4% of your payment to the total.

3. As security reason, the buyer MUST be a Verified Paypal User. If you are not a Verified Paypal User please email us to go through another payment method.

4. If buyer choose send normal pay with extra PayPal fee, for the security reason, your payment should not send from credit card, but paypal balance OR transfer from your bank account. If you only get credit card, please use "Add funs" first, after money inside your Paypal account then process the payment. Normally, this takes 1-2days.

How to

How to send Mass payment to us?

According to PayPal's mass pay instructions, you are supposed to create an Excel file with the payment information and save the file as a text file with tab separated values. I believe there is a much easier way to do it:.

1. Open up notepad (or any text/ascii editor)

2. Type the following information, separated by tabs (use tab key, not spaces).

An example of a payment text file:
payment@domainsale.com 999 USD

This textfile will, when uploaded to PayPal, process a payment of $999 US Dollars to the PayPal address payment@domainsale.com.

Save the textfile as anything you'd like, just try to remember where you saved it for later.

3. Log in to your PayPal account the usual way, but instead of sending a payment the regular way, look for the small link on the bottom of your screen that says "Mass Pay". Found it? Good, now click it.

4. You are now one step away from doing a mass payment. Browse to find the text file you just created in notepad and upload it to PayPal as directed. Type in the e-mail address you want the receipt to be sent to and perform the payment by clicking the button.

Voila! The PayPal recipient has now received his/hers payment and it only cost you $1 in fees, instead of 4% Paypal transaction fee!
