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.
