EDIT: Unsure where to put this, a follower of mine told me "General" would be good enough. lol
Hey everyone. Recently, I was in a situation concerning PayPal fees that left me salty.
So, being salty, I posted a PSA on my Toyhou.se bulletins.
Then, being even saltier, I updated and moved my PayPal Tutorial (used to be on dA) which I am here to share with you today!
Before I get started, I would like to just address PayPal Fees.
It goes against PayPal's User Agreement to charge |
International Transactions Please be aware that as of late 2016, PayPal has installed auto-currency exchange.Please refer to my guide on Weebly on how to deal with it. Please check in with people you are buying from outside the country if they want their money in USd or their home-currency. ALSO, fees are higher than normal fees when sending abroad. |
Transaction Fees |
DO'S | DONT'S |
|
|
| Note: If you were someone that added an extra dollar or more when sending money, that can be considered a "tip." You put extra money onto the transaction out of your own volition. No one asked you to do so. If the seller did ask you to cover the fees, then they are violating PayPal's User Agreement which you, under no circumstance, should be covering the fees. |
PLEASE IGNORE THE FACT IT'S ON MY SPECIES WEEBLY.
IT'S EASIER TO MANAGE THAN MAKING A SEPARATE WEEBLY. LOL
Thanks for taking a read!
Feel free to critique, corret, and comment below!
I need the feedback. :')

This. Like fullstop. Like pepperly, I've definitely decided against using an artist or getting an adopt because they ask me to pay fees. I don't mind tipping but forcing me makes me mad
ALSO
You should probably add that telling your customer to send a friends and family is no bueno.I've got horror stories to go with that
@Hane - Oh yes yes. It's in my full paypal tutorial as why that's no bueno. But we do need it bullet pointed! Thanks for pointing that out.
@Hane - It's loooong. XD It just goes over in detail with how to send money and create invoices as well use other PayPal features. A lot of my own personal jargon got added in making it extra long.
@SAKURAGX4NINA - You're welcome. ; o; Man, I am rather surprised how much this is helping others. XD;;; I don't know why I didn't expect it.
In my opinion, that's pretty low to impose the fee at the very last moment. I would say it counts as asking you to paying the fee even without saying a word. They are "imposing a subcharge on you for accepting PayPal." It's pretty clear if they say it's $20, then turn around to charge you more. :\
oh i didn't know about this :0 very helpful. thanks for saving my ignorant ass.
recently i've started asking buyers to add more to their total bcs of the fee. time to just set a passive reminder on my info and just hope for voluntary helpers then!
@sakuragx4nina - Sadly my bulletin can't reach everyone. I'm glad that one of my followers suggested this or else I wouldn't have thought of posting it publicly like this.
You're very welcome. <3 Glad I could be of help with PayPal. I know the platform is hella confusing and a lot of people don't understand it very well so it gets a bad rep.
@neegatedagain - You're welcome! Pffffbbt. Not ignorant! And just raise your prices like a few bucks in your next batches of comms or something! :P
(for some reason I always kept reading your username as "Negated Neechan." IDKY)
