How do you deal with paypal fees?

I did a transaction test for $1 and i only received 66 cents!
Hello,

Paypal fees are something like 2.9% + 0.30$ from each transaction, here you have more info: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/paypal-fees

Hi lossehelin

It's really important you mention in your FAQs or Terms of Service re cash withdrawals that a transaction fee will be deducted by PayPal and that these, and any exchange rate loss, are at the receivers cost.

I hope that helps - if it does please give me a forum Rep+1

Thanks

Hello,

Well, if you send 1$ to somebody (for example) he will receive 1$ from you, paypal will deduct fees from his money, not from yours (user already know that, they accepted Paypal TOS when they joined on paypal). But, there is a possibility to avoid these fees, when you pay any from your users, you can send payment as a gift and Paypal doesn't deduct any fee from transaction.

Regards!
Thanks for the gift tip Admin, that's really good to know

yes in theory everyone should know that fees will be deducted. i am used to it, i wasn't expecting for them to have so big impact when it is low amounts.
