paypal fees?

[birdbrain5]

i just got a paypal and the first time i recieved money a fee was taken out, and the second time another fee was taken out. it was a larger amount so it took out almost $5. does paypal usually take a fee? i didnt think they did..

i figured i would post in this section because of people using paypal for hatching eggs..

Yes, PayPal does take a percentage of the payment as a fee. I just can't remember what the percentage is, but you can find it on their site somewhere.
Hope that helps!

I think Paypal charges 2% on every transaction.

Depending on the type of payment you specify it will take the fee from the sender's or recipient's funds. In other words if you send a "gift" the fee comes from you, if you send a payment for goods it comes out of the seller's funds. I think.
