Not sure about that. My landlord can't accept rent via PayPal without paying a huge fee, and that's when I've funded my transfer via ACH. He doesn't have a merchant account, just an individual account.

IMO paying rent wouldn't count as a P2P transaction. I've used Paypal for years to pay friends, and there have never been any fees.

I think it was because of the transaction volume. Once you get past $3,000.00USD it looks like you automatically become a merchant with PayPal, even if you're not.
