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. :')

Thank you, I didn't know that! Took a few time to correct all my adopts!
And the link on other tutorial doesn't work, can you please explain how to turn off auto-currency? Cause that's was literallly the first problem I face with my first adopt buyer, apparently not all people knows how to turn it off! (including me T_T)
I cant believe it needed to be said you can't do surcharge (or however one uses that word. Charge a surcharge feels repetitive). Like when I was doing adopts, I noticed a fee, and just raised my prices a little on the whole. If they didnt pay through PayPal (I was using dA), well yay me, a little extra for me. If they did, I didnt lose anything because it was discreetly in the price.
Damm i did not know that!! there where some artist that make me pay the fees for comissions or merch now i feel cheated becuase they charge me when i was about to pay that was never in the tos.
what do i do (if anything) if i see someone asking for people to pay their fees, as well as selling through friends/family?
I always buy through PayPal's protection option.
Always, always, always. I refuse to get scammed. Which of course sucks when you're talking with someone who's genuine, but there's always a bad egg out there somewhere.
hey! ive been using paypal for a bit (since the beginning of the year) to recieve money from art commissions and didn't know that paypal had a transaction fee? I'm really new to paypal so im confused by this thread :0?
hi! i am wondering about visa transaction fee
PayPal Takes 1 dollar from every 10dollar when i sent money to my card visa
is there anyway to avoid that?
Thank you for this PSA! It helps a lot to read this, especially as a new seller! I’ll make sure to keep this in mind, both when selling and buying!
