PayPal surprise fee of $7.95 !

[BearSwampChick]

I had a bad experience with PayPal. They charged my account for someone else's purchase. Over $700. Luckily, I didn't have any trouble getting it corrected and I cancelled my account immediately.

I buy stuff with PayPal all of the time. I have never had a fee like that.

I have never had a problem with pay pal, but i bought something not to long ago and the seller refused to accept pay pal, i e mailed him and asked why since i always use them, He explained that they charge so much he was unable to make a profit, but he did use i think it was Google, and i used their pay method and it went Thu perfect.

I am only a buyer on ebay but I checked my paypal account after reading this post, no fees, thankfully, thanks for the heads up though

Paypal has been positive for me, both as a buyer and seller.
With that said I'm waiting for them to drop a bomb on me.

I used Paypal four times this last week as a buyer twice as a seller. I just checked my accounts bank and Paypal and I do not have any other fees. I have been using Paypal for years and have always had excellent service from them on the phone and via the internet.

I am wondering if the fee is just for echecks because a lot of sellers do not want or accept them for payment anymore?

I've used Paypal for years as a buyer and a seller and just for other payments and have never had a bit of trouble. Let's hope you get it straightened out quickly.

The reason why they jumped it up was cause of george bush (i think). I was listening to the news when they said that paypal and ebay are jumping up the fees for people who dont pay tax's. Now please I dont need any personal attacks because I heard this on the news

We have never had a huge problem with paypal, but our banker strongly suggested setting up another account just for ebay. He said he sees problems all the time from people who use paypal.

Hey, PC, I like the way inuyashalover21 thinks.

I think the tax you are talking about is a 'use' tax. Buying items out of state, like if went to NH an bought a bunch of things, no sales tax there. or online there is no sales tax, unless the company is Maine based. Well, I am supposed to claim any such items on my Maine state return so I can get taxed for them.

I've never gotten fees tacked on by Paypal, or at least not to that extent and certianly not when I was the buyer. Maybe, because it was an e-check?
