PayPal option offers publishers flexibility and a lower payment threshold
Before we get started, let’s do “full disclosure.” A long, long time ago, back when the Web was just a toddler and I was a shave-tail assistant editor at a new magazine called Business 2.0, there was any number of Internet funny-money schemes out there, all trying to get covered in the press.
I ignored most of them.![]()
Then the boys from PayPal rang up. I knew right away that PayPal was something different, but I was still skeptical. So instead of a feature story, I wrote a little blurb for the front of the magazine. PayPal, of course, has become one of the Web’s great success stories. In fact, I use it all the time.
PayPal for Our Publisher Pals
Today at Yahoo! Publisher Network we’re pleased, and I mean pleased, to announce that publishers in our network now have the option to be paid via PayPal, rather than by check or by electronic funds transfer.
In addition to the greater flexibility and convenience offered by PayPal, publishers who opt in will enjoy a reduced payment threshold, from $100 to just $50.
For more information, please read our FAQs. To sign up for PayPal, log in to your account.
Not only should I have written that PayPal feature story, I should have invested. Ouch.

[…] YPN blog announced that Yahoo! Publisher Network now offers payment via Paypal instead of check or by electronic funds transfer. Is this serious threat to Adsense? I’ve seen many webmaster has request this option before but there is no updates from Adsense management yet. Maybe they are preparing to offer Adsense publisher Google CheckOut services as their alternative payout. […]

Beside the threshold of $50 I do not see any great benefit for USA publishers. Paypal applies fees on every transaction, while I get all the money with DD or check.
Instead, it would be a great move to have that kind of payment for non USA publishers.
YPN, are you telling us you are opening to other countries?
