I was charged a fee today for the first time at paypal for my SR payment.
I had another payment without a fee. I was told if the payment is sent with the sender paypal balance or bank card there is no fee for me, if it is sent with credit card or debit card then I am charged 4.9% plus .30 per transaction. Does anyone know is this is a true or false explantion? I do not have a premeir account, just transfer the funds to my bank account. I had other transcations is no fee, so this may be true. thanks for any help.

My husband won $5.00 on some site he does and they sent it to his p.p. account. He thought he would suprise me so he sent a payment to my paypal account. We were charged too. It stinks.

I cashed out at seobiz for $5 and was charged 5 cents which is 1%. It is really confusing since the fees are all different....while for some there are no fees.

There was another thread here about "Paypal charging fees now". You might look for that for additional information.

I posted that I cashed out at TestSpin.
My $10.00 became only $8.20 in my PayPal account.
All the rest went for fees!

I am happy to report that I just cashed out at QR and received every penny of my money from PayPal -- no fees were deducted!

my global world was charged 10% too .. and when I checked the fee schedule ..its 2.9% PLUS 30 cents .. makes me glad the programs are dwindling. .although my payments from paidyousure & Petmails werent charged. .they must have used masspay

I do not understand this at all. I would think it there are fees then just the way it is, this seems to be selective here. Like QR no fees, but yet others have fees. I was told by where I cashed out that she sent money from her paypal accout. So the rep from paypal told me was wrong. There has to be someone that we could get a straight answer from. Any suggestions?

QuickRewards is doing their payments through PayPal's Mass Payment, which they pay a small 2% fee to send. Payments sent through Mass Pay do not have fees for the receiver. Mass Payments can only be sent from existing PayPal balances, not payments from a bank account or a credit card. Also, if a payment is sent using the person's account balance the regular way (not a mass payment), the receiver would also have a fee. Those would have to be sent individually, which would result in the receiver having fees.

If you are sending money (or receiving money) from someone that you know, the "Personal" payment tab can be used, which won't result in a fee for the sender or receiver.

Unfortunately, it's hard to tell which sites use the mass payment option until you actually get a payment from them. Payments from site's can be sent as a personal payment since there isn't a personal relationship between you and the site. Some sites don't mind paying the 2% fee, others prefer to just send it the regular way and have the receiver deal with the fees.
