PayPal fees too much?

[Jason76]

Nearly half of what comes in - even on $1.

Just send the payment as a Gift, then there are no fees, fees are way too high though.

If sending, adding an extra 50 cents to 5 USD will cover it.

I personally prefer bank transfers as there's no fees involved. Whilst it's annoying as an end user to pay fees, I can understand from a corporate perspective they have to fund their servers, server security and website fees somehow

I hate paypal fees, i sell stuff on EBay so the fees are unavoidable in most cases.

fees are apart of life, sucks but they have to earn to keep running themselves, I mean they are like banks where they always earn as much as they can

A mistake. It's only half of what comes in when it's 1 USD. The more you get, the less it is. In that case, it's better to sell in bulk.

I thought it was a charity.

Yeah it annoys me a little. I never really liked being the one to both pay the fees, and have fees deducted from what I receive when the person sending doesn't want to pay the fee.

A little money is no big deal (as with higher transactions), but as said, 40 percent of 1 USD is quite a bit.
