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!

Holy crud. I haven't been on in EONs and this gets "Pinned" to this area.
I'll go through the thread and read people's opinions and standpoints. It's okay to disagree with what I have said so don't be afraid to share an "unpopular opinion." Since this thread hasn't been updated in a very long time, I'll take the time to update it before I make my indefinite hiatus off of TH.
Thank you for those who have found it useful and also took the time to share your opinions!
How do I report someone doing this, to paypal? I've looked through their Help Center several times over.
Thank you! I've seen so many artists charge extra for the paypal fees, it's so frustrating;; I won't buy from anyone who does
I just up my set prices i would normally charge if there wasn't fees by $1 to cover it, I feel like asking someone to cover the fees is a bit rude as well as being against the tos :/
Plus some other do's and dont's! Because I've been being driven a bit crazy lately seeing people pull some things.
STOP ASKING PEOPLE TO USE FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO GET FULL TRANSACTIONS.
I cannot stress enough, how DANGEROUS that is! You and the person receiving, both get added to each other's contact lists on PayPal. This not only gives you both each other's real names, which doesn't matter as much in my opinion, but you see each other's addresses. You SHOULD NOT let ANYONE on the internet receive that information unless you are getting something shipped to you.
USE PAYPAL INVOICES, OR GOODS AND SERVICES!!
Invoices can protect your identity! However, for the payer, their address can sometimes be given to you. So take this, either use invoices, and ignore their address completely, or just use Goods and Services transfers. This will leak your real name, and the buyers, but you won't be sharing each other's last names. Which is incredibly a lot safer than having those out and about. I have seen people hide their addresses in invoices before that I've sent out?? But personally, I'm not sure how that one's done.
I also need to add, I'm not sure what happened to PayPal's old "premium" service that let you hide your real name. I've seen friends using their online names, and friends without using their online names. So I personally don't know what to do with that one, unless anyone has any information I'm lacking!
Anyway, I'd really like to see ya'll handle this stuff so much safer, the internet ain't a fluffy soft pillow! Have a nice one!
