Thanks. I just want that one layer of security for some reasonno fee to send money person to person. such a great feature of paypal.
The fee is on the receiver, unless the sender is funded or tied to a bankno fee to send money person to person. such a great feature of paypal.
If you use credit card or debit card there is a feeI sent money to a friend last year and paid a fee. I may be remembering wrong, but I think it was because my account was not linked to bank. So that could be issue for you if you are sending money from your account that is not linked.
ok thanks 3 pct?so even if I just have one account I get hit fees to put into my real account?Whenever I transfer money from my PayPal to my bank account they hit me with a fee.
I think its like 3% + $.30 per transfer, but dont quote me on that. I have no idea what layering is, but as far as safe I've never had a problem with security with PayPal in close to 200 transactions.ok thanks 3 pct?so even if I just have one account I get hit fees to put into my real account?Whenever I transfer money from my PayPal to my bank account they hit me with a fee.
is it safe? As far as layering I read that online
Really? You get hit with a fee for withdrawing money? Never has happened to me.Whenever I transfer money from my PayPal to my bank account they hit me with a fee.
If you're not funded or tied to a bank, how are you sending money? Via credit card? That would make sense why there's a fee.The fee is on the receiver, unless the sender is funded or tied to a bankno fee to send money person to person. such a great feature of paypal.
How do I avoid it? Like when someine sends me money for an eBay auction, then transfer that money to my bank account, I get charged. They don't charge the buyer, but they gotta charge someone...PayPal isn't free, I don't know how you're NOT getting charged.Really? You get hit with a fee for withdrawing money? Never has happened to me.Whenever I transfer money from my PayPal to my bank account they hit me with a fee.
ETA: Holy christ, you're paying 3% on just withdrawing money from your paypal account to your bank account. You're definitely doing something wrong.
The second account will have to be tied to another bank account to avoid a fee.If i create one account that links to my bank account. I then create a second account and have eveyone send money there.
Is there a fee to transfer money from my 2nd account to my first?

You're getting charged for receiving the payment, not for transfering the money to your bank account.How do I avoid it?

yes. many people don't want to stick money in a paypal account or give them direct access to their checking, so their paypal payments are made with a credit card or debit card. there's no fee for the sender; only the receiver. the problem is that as a receiver, you have no control of how the sender funds their account.If you're not funded or tied to a bank, how are you sending money? Via credit card? That would make sense why there's a fee.The fee is on the receiver, unless the sender is funded or tied to a bankno fee to send money person to person. such a great feature of paypal.

i understand they don't want gambling and such but we are just collecting money for the trip. Oh well last time we do this.Yeah i know someone who runs an NCAA pool and accepts payment from Paypal. After about hundred people paid paypal sent him a message stating he cant run ncaa brackets using paypal and put a stop on his account.
yeah but how did they know it was gambling? It seems like a flag went off due to a certain number of transactions similar to your wifes accounti understand they don't want gambling and such but we are just collecting money for the trip.

If the people paying your wife are funding it with a credit card, someone has to pay the fee. The sender can elect to pay it on their end, but if they don't, the reciever has to pay it. It costs PayPal an interchange fee to process credit card transactions.i understand they don't want gambling and such but we are just collecting money for the trip.

All the transactions are PayPal to PayPal, but how they fund the payment in their PayPal account, before sending it to you, is what matters.No one in using a credit card. It was paypal to paypal just like the first 30 transactions
and I'm telling after the 30th or so transaction they charged a fee. My wife called the woman and she said it was linked to her bank accountAll the transactions are PayPal to PayPal, but how they fund the payment in their PayPal account, before sending it to you, is what matters.No one in using a credit card.

If they send you $50 from their PayPal account, PayPal has to get $50 from them somehow. If they choose to use their credit card to "pay" PayPal that $50 to give to you, there will be a fee. If they choose to "pay" PayPal by taking it out of their checking account, there is no fee.
I had a situation a while ago that sounds the same. I set up my PP account tying it to my bank account. Some time later, I went to make a transaction purchase using PP and it said it would go quicker if I had a credit/debit card tied to the account (I had a zero balance in PP). So I chose to do this. Well, future transactions to friends must have automatically used the debit card because fees started showing up. So I had to go into my profile and remove the card. Everything back to normal now.and I'm telling after the 30th or so transaction they charged a fee.

thanks...I'll have her check. My wife said she got a few more today with no issues. We are convinced the woman is a dope and made a mistake but we were upset with paypal customer service. She sent another email and is waiting back.I had a situation a while ago that sounds the same. I set up my PP account tying it to my bank account.

My point is that they may have both tied to their account and not remember it. They can check in their profile to see.
