PayPal screwing us again.....

[frigpig]

So I sent some money to a fellow member gift. Partially cause I'm a swell guy and mostly cause I trust him immensely. Aaanyway, PayPal is now charging 10% to gift someone money. Rat bastards :angry:

WTF? That's far more than just sending them the money.

Fees


PayPal is the safer, easier way to pay and get paid online.
Purchase
Personal paymentPayGet paid
Send moneyReceive moneyFree1.1% to 2.4% + $0.30 AUD
Free when the full amount comes from PayPal balance or bank account.
OR
2.4% + $0.30 AUD when the money comes from a credit or debit card. The sender decides who pays this fee.

copy paste from my account - no mention of 10%!!!

I recently sent some money that way also- didn't look to see if I was charged or not, though it wouldn't have surprised me.

People who place in their sales listings "$$$ net to me" or "buyer pays PP fee" Cripes you cheap selling bastard, just add $5 to your listing and be done with it.

I'm a dumb ass. 1%

It was 1%.

I'm still pissed, but..........also still a dumb ass.

I've always wondered how much interest they make off customers. Not what they charge us but that "float" from the PP balance to the bank. I bet they make millions alone off the interest

I never even take it that far. If I want to sell a watch for $100, I sell it for $100. I dont calculate in my head the cost of PP and shipping and then sell for $107. The buyer will pay what I think the watch is worth, paying the fees are all part of being a seller. I can either not sell a watch or sell it for what it's worth and then pay a small fee for the ability paypal has given me. Or I can just take payments by mail & check only, how efficient would that be?

[tommy_boy]

You send all of the money to the other guy and also to PayPal.

 

[watchlord]

Of course, with a 5% commission. That's fair.
