For receiving email payments via PayPal, a merchant would get charged just shy of 3% (2.9% + $.30 a transaction). At more than $3,000 in transactions a month you can qualify for lower rates. There are no other fees (setup, monthly).
There is a free, downloadable integration to QuickBooks that allows you to send out email invoices that pull the data from QuickBooks.
