  • Question about PayPal

    I know some of you don't like them.. but my question is. If someone pays via paypal with a credit card is there an additional fee? I can't seem to find the answer. I know PP charged 3% but am I hit with a cc fee also?

    The commission is paid by the person who receives the money. The payer doesn't pay any fees.

      If I remember correctly, I got charged 5% by Paypal for accepting a payment from my mother. I wasn't selling anything, she just paid me £10 and Paypal charged me 50p. I do know that to transfer money from your own PP account to your card/bank, you get charged, but I don't know how much.

        Doesn't cost anything to transfer money to my bank account from PayPal.
        Just takes a few days to complete.

        As for the CC fee, yea, PayPal charges a processing fee, but then again, so does everyone else.

          Is that on top of the 3% for any transaction (received)? I thought it was ~3% no matter the source from - credit card, other's PP acct, all the same fee.

          Maybe it varies by country? - I know there is an additional currency conversion fee for inter-county transactions

            Yes, fees vary by country.
            The fees seem fairly standardized for all my transactions.
            I haven't noticed any fee difference between a PayPal to PayPal or CC to PayPal transactions.

              Here's their fee info from their site:

              https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/we...g-fees-outside

              But my experience doesn't match this table, sometimes they don't charge me anything when I receive funds, other times they charge me more than the fees listed here. Go figure.

              EDIT: Here's a fee calculator which seems to jive with the above table:
