Um, I want users to be able to subscribe to an advertisement package, but get charged a one time setup fee of 10 dollars. So the first month would be cost + 10, but then each month after that is just cost. How do I do this? LOSTMALL.com

If the monthly fee changes, the subscription feature would not work for you. You may consider a Single Item Purchase button with an editable amount field. You can then have the customer log in monthly to pay you or email the customer an invoice.

After the set up, what is the monthly cost? Do you have a set amount that is charged every month thereafter or will the monthly charge change month to month?

Set up an initial period that is $10 more than the recurring charges. For example:

<input type="hidden" name="a1" value="39.95">
<input type="hidden" name="p1" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="t1" value="M">
<input type="hidden" name="a3" value="29.95">
<input type="hidden" name="p3" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="t3" value="M">

We are utilizing the method Patrick mentioned to handle the setup fee (first period has a $9.95 setup fee) unfortunatly, PayPal will want to call it a TRIAL PERIOD.

We asked for a SETUP FEE field back at eBay Live 2002(but PP seemed to have something on their mind back then <grin>)

If you do use the initial period functionality, make sure you are clear with your customers so they are not surprised at the "trial" terminology or lack of the "setup fee."

We do not call it a "trial period".
