6. Does Meylah charge any transaction fees or other fees?

Meylah charges a 5% transaction fee only for Free Member accounts. Members with a Basic or Premium account are not charged any transaction fees on sales from their own store or from MeylahÕs marketplace. Meylah does charge a flat 5% transaction fee on sales that are generated through other marketplaces powered by Meylah. Transaction fees are tracked in the ÔFeesÕ section of ÔYour AccountÕ and they are collected through an invoice at the beginning of each month. PayPal also collects a small fee for every transaction on their end. This is common to every business using PayPal and something we can't change.

9. Can I accept funds manually?

You can accept funds manually only for any physical product that you are selling. If you accept funds manually, then you will have to change the inventory of your product (for example: from 3 items down to 2 items). For online tutorials and digital products, you will not be able to accept funds manually because your customer will not be able to access this information since it is all digital.
