Here are the pay pal charges that I received ,,,I think I will drop pay pal. Look at the two for 72,50 and 72.20 does that make any sence?
I received they charged $405.00 USD -$12.05 USD $6.00 USD -$0.47 USD $20.00 USD -$0.88 USD $105.00 USD -$4.40 USD $95.00 USD -$3.06 USD $72.50 USD* -$2.40 USD $72.20 USD -$3.12 USD 238.00 USD -$7.20 USD This is over the last 6 months of charges say good to Pay Pal .. jim |

Yeah they do get a chunk.
However it is by far the one of the easiest cash transaction methods. I would guess the difference in fees is that one was a bank transfer and one was a charge card (charge card fees get passed on to the receiver) |

Re: I'm saying good-bye to Pay pal.
How would that compare to credit card charges? How else would you accept payment?

Re: I'm saying good-bye to Pay pal.
It is less than American Express fees of 4%
Master card and Visa both discount payment to vendor and charge interest to card holder. Pay pal at 3.5% is not out of line. Is it? roadster with a stick |
Re: I'm saying good-bye to Pay pal.
if it was a set % ,i could understand that but when it goes up and down like this
those charges above work out to ... 2.9% 7.8% 4.5% 4.2% 3.2% 3.3% 4.3% 3.0% then I have to do something,,, just to let u know i am one of those that have NEVER paid interest on any thing ( except my house),, no ra rich person either, retired after 34 years working in Miami Dade water and sewer dept. I just never could understand why some would pay some one to spend their own money,,, every car i eve owned i paid cash for it or i could not have it. jim |

Re: I'm saying good-bye to Pay pal.
They do take a chunk, and since ebay bought them, now it really kinda bothers me. My ebay and PayPal fees are crazy after a full month of selling, but it is easy, quick and secure. So, what you gonna do.:rolleyes:

Re: I'm saying good-bye to Pay pal.
Like all banks they have a fixed component and a variable one. Your overall cost for the financing was around 3.35%, plus your monthly.
I don't know what the actual numbers are off the cuff, but let's say you found an acceptable alternative, like the Costco deal for taking credit cards, and you saved maybe $10 in a month vs the ease of using Paypal for e-Bay transactions. I don't know if the $10 would be worthwhile. So, is PayPal "earning" their money. I don't know. I do know that most business people think that the "other" guy (usually their vendor), charges too much. Don't we all. Cha Ching! |
Re: I'm saying good-bye to Pay pal.
I basically only send cash and not receive using Paypal to avoid the extra fees.
