Paypal fees

[womenfly]

Clearly a newbie, here. I was under the impression that there were no fees to send or receive non-credit card paypal dollars.
I received $$ via an echeck from a buyer last night. When I checked our paypal account this morning - the entire amount is listed as "uncleared" (I understand that). But when I hit the "details" link - it states the amount less a $5 fee. The only description is "fee". humph.

Any info out there to help me understand - or educated me enough to call with an intelligent question?
Thanks!

I'm not an expert but it sounds like your buyer used a credit card paypal account. You might check with the buyer. I've never paid any fees in 2 years with paypal, but I specify in my ads that I only accept non credit card paypal.

I asked a similar question just the other day in this (http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26162&highlight=paypal) thread. I think you'll find the answer there.:001_smile:

Thanks for the replies, but it still doesn't add up ...
The payment was an echeck, not a credit card.
This has been the only payment into our account for months.
Still can't figure out the "fee".
