this, i havnt sold anything for a while but the fees seem to have gone up loads.

the service is pretty good, but it should be for what they are charging.Just out of interest id love to know what they make on an average day.

i reckon as the country are feeling skinter and skinter, and people are turning more to places like ebay to buy there stuff, i bet paypal didnt suffer recession.

How much is there % now then?

Depends on the type of transfer, but usually its 20p +3.5%?

Gift IS still free IF you pay via bank transfer. Paypal is desperately trying to stop people using card payments it seems - perhaps that costs them more money? Which is damned annoying as even though they quote payments funded from your bank account are "instant" - they're not, where as payments funded from your credit/debit card are.

I sent £50 to MKEmergency for his BMW lamps; gifted the payment to save fees but it still tried charging me tgo use my (debit) card. So after much faff, managed to change back to bank funding, and its taken almost week for the money to deduct from my bank balance! Then the chuffer addressed the bloody parcel to 'poofs nancies and gays club' lol


[edit] AND the other thing that gets me about paypal and ranks them higher on my robbing barsteward scale ahead of eBay is the charity auction fees. EBay waive their fees depending on charity percentage, so if you do a sale where 100% of the proceeds goes to charity, they waive 100% of their fee. However - and they don't tell you this - paypal still charge full fees on the transaction. And most auctions are forced to use paypal!

So your charity item sells for £100, ebay waive their fees, buyer sends you £100 via paypal. You receive, say, £96 in your paypal balance due to them taking their usual cut. MissionFish (ebay's charity handler) then come along and remove £100 from your paypal balance, leaving your £3 down.

Yes its not much, but charity auctions do have the potential to hit big money. That guy selling the wetsuit ages ago hit a few thousand on his auction, wonder if he was happy with paypal grabbing a few extra hundred from his own balance lol

...oh, and who owns paypal? Yeah, eBay. Sure, we won't charge fees on charity auctions - as we'll recoup the money from paypal instead. Fcukers lol
