It appears to be a flat $4.99 fee as I made another purchase last night from balance and checking account and noticed fee.

Paypal Friends and Family
I sent a payment to a seller for $2,900 by friends and family, when he received it $166.00 was deducted from Paypal fees, the seller wrote me to say that Paypal got wise and no longer sends funds with a fee, so there is no reason to say send money by friends and family they are now charging a fee for that but at least you won't get hit with a tax bill like you were a business. Just a FYI. This seems to have just started because I got the full amount on a sale paid by friends and family.

Just to complain a little more about PayPal. I ordered an item on Dec 7 for about $2100+ and paid via PayPal credit. The next day (Dec 8) I changed my mind, and the merchant granted a refund. I have it in an email. To this day, I have still not received the refund and PayPal Credit shows that I still owe this amount. I have contacted the merchant, and he claims he granted the refund the next day. I have called PayPal and PayPal credit several times now and I must say it was very difficult to communicate. They either hide behind being stupid or pretend they don’t understand English. They keep saying it was refunded to my PayPal balance, but I already had more than that amount in my balance to begin with, and the refund was not added to it. I ended up filing a claim and have been told it can take up to 60 days to complete their investigation.! Just warning you guys the PayPal system is verrrry rocky... ozzy |
@wig it would appear you were charged the international transaction fee… |
