Paypal fees

[kalexis]

Hi guys.
Did anybody came across the fact paypal charges fees differently from person to person?
Example, sending 550$ through mass payment cost me 11$ fee, while my friend from another country paid normal 1-2$ fee (for mass payment).
I tried contacting paypal, they gave me unclear answer for this.
Does anyone familiar with this situation?

paypal gotta get paid. You got no choice but to like it. suck it up and move on.

It depends on the type of money transfer.

There are many factors which decide the amount of fees (cross country, normal or gift).

paypal just has outragous fees...

this year i spent about $850 on fees, over $9000, and that's with me forcing my customers to convert to canadian dollars first... it would probably be triple that amount if i had to convert it from usd to cad lol.

unfortunately, theres nothing you can do about it

Paypal has outrageous fees but I found that I was losing more money letting my bank do the currency conversion for international transactions. So now I leave it to Paypal to do the conversions and am actually saving 1% for every transaction.

Hey no matter who you use as a payment gateway, you will have to pay the fees. You will never get direct conversion rates.
