Users can pay with Paypal through the CarrotPay gateway. However payments are recieved by us, and by uploaders, in a CarrotPay merchant account. The funds can then be withdrawn to paypal if you wish.

As mentioned in our first post, we use CarrotPay for the following reasons.

1. Non reversable payments. This means we can GAURANTEE instant payout on every premium download. It is not possible to do this with Paypal.

2. Low fees of just 5%. Since transaction values can be as low as $0.01, a 5% charge is the lowest in the market. In order for Paypal to even come close to being competitive, transactions would need to be in excess of $10.

3. Split payments. We use CarrotPay's split payment facility so that funds are recieved DIRECTLY into your merchant account. When a downloader pays, you recieve it directly from them, and not from us. We never hold you money, and why should we? It's you money!

4. You can withdraw to your Paypal or bank account from CarrotPay if you like. I am told that CarrotPay will soon add other methods of top-up and withdraw to make things more flexible.
