Tips & Warnings
Watch for Pro Merchant account sales. There are often sales that apply to the first two or three months of the membership fees. Normally, anyone who has had a Pro Merchant account at any time is not eligible for a fee sale.
If the volume of sales goes down after the sale period is over, reevaluate keeping the account. If the fee discount isn't paying for itself it isn't worth having.
