A few years ago when making a micro transaction app, PayPal only allowed one type of fee structure — either the 5% or the 2.9%.

Meaning you couldn’t segregate low tickets from high tickets and get the most optimal fee - your whole merchant account was one fee or the other.

‘Twas quite a PITA

Yeah this is still the case AFAIK - very annoying. I believe their recommended workaround was to have 2 separate merchant accounts with different fee structures and group your products accordingly.
