Payment Question

Looking back through my paypal account and at my bank records, I was not charged a fee for sending a gift any of the times I have done so.
And yes they were giftsto the folks on here recently who needed them.
Don't know about money owed or any other category.
:frown:
Whoever received the gift...paid a fee.
Paypal always gets paid.
The only way paypal don't take money is---
money being transferred from a paypal account and transferred directly
into a bank account.
I don't think so. I just did it and no fees appear on my bank or paypal transaction log.
Don't fret- twas for bike parts, not that risky pool stuff!
I think there are zero fees on gifts if they are funded by cash. If funded by a Credit Card, PayPal gives you the option of absorbing the fees or passing them to the recipient.
That's not true. Otherwise a very informative post.
Personal Payments made as a gift and funded from the sender's PayPal balance incur zero fees on either end.
Thanks

LOL...have you tried it lately? Go to your paypay account and try and get back to me.:thumbup:
OK. I just sent my wife a $10 Personal payment out of my PayPal balance as a gift. It cost me $10 to send it and she received $10.
Now what?
From PayPal's Fee Structures:
Fees
Online purchases* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - Personal payments**
Pay -----Get paid - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Send money - - - Receive money
Free ------2.4% to 3.4% + $0.50 SG - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Free when you use your PayPal balance
3.4% + $0.50 SGD
for credit card payments
(either the sender or recipient can pay this fee).
Additional fees may apply for overseas payments, currency conversions and other transactions. See "Exhibit A – Fees" in the User Agreement for details.

Cross-border and multiple currencies
Free to open a PayPal account.
Fees for withdrawals from your PayPal balance.
* Online purchases: Payments made mainly to purchase goods or services online at eBay and thousands of websites worldwide that accept PayPal.
** Personal payments: Payments made mainly to individuals as opposed to businesses, such as splitting the cost of a birthday gift or paying back a friend for lunch.

You are right. My account is set up to pay with credit card at all times.
Your wife can thank me now.:thumbup:
Ahh, that's a rare set-up indeed.
very rare.
Anyway, fees aside, PayPal is a very safe way to pay people you don't know for goods you haven't seen. Providing you:
1) use a credit card so you can bypass PayPal's arbitration process if there is a dispute
2) don't defraud PayPal and claim that a purchase of goods is a gift.
Thanks

Very bad advice IMHO. Either don't deal with them or add the fees yourself. If they don't want you to add the fees and make it a "real" payment for merchandise then be very suspicious regardless of any sort of feedback rating here or elsewhere.
In fact, I would propose that the most manipulative scoundrels would be the most talented at maintaining a very good feedback by nature of their ways.
Never fail to take simple precautions. The 3% is minimal.
.
.
Besides being minimal, they are providing a service, if you use the service, they should get paid for providing it.
We all worry about the honesty of the people we deal with here, and then some folks decide to scam Paypal out of their 3% fee????????
WTF
How cheap are you anyway?
just ain't right in my world

Seen it.
First they defraud PayPal in an attempt to escape the fees PayPal charges for their service. Then the deal goes bad. Now they turn to PayPal, attempt to use their customer service people for free and scream and yell about how unresponsive and greedy PayPal is when the dispute goes South.
