Weird paypal fees (1 Viewer)

[Ainton]

Hi all!

I’ll be short on this one, I have a Canadian buyer that claims to be forced to pay a 38USD fee for transferring 450USD to my PayPal account (Sweden)

But when I’m checking the cost for me to transfer to him it’s around 3USD

How could this be?

And it’s with PP friends and family

I’m Canadian…if you send me your PayPal I’ll load up the transaction and send a screenshot of what it comes to (both G&S and F&F)

Maybe he needs to charge his cc while you have the funds already in your account?

Sounds to me like the buyer is using a credit card. International FF transfers do incur a fee, but usually a very small one if you have money in your PP account.

International fees on there are terrible

Yes, but never $38 terrible.

It was:

F&F bank account = CAD$2.99
F&F credit card = CAD$20.28
G&S = 0 (regardless of account)
