PSA: PayPal Fees (DO's and DONT'S) + TUTORIAL

Posted 7 years, 2 months ago (Edited 6 years, 9 months ago) by sonyaism

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
your customer/buyer PayPal's Trasaction Fees.

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

DO know that asking someone to cover your PayPal Fees will get you in trouble.
- They can limit or freeze your account which means you won't be able to receive or spend funds, depending.
DO know that it is against PayPal's User Agreement to charge someone PayPal's Transaction Fees.
DO raise your prices discreetly if the fees are that much of a hassle.
DO not ask for your buyer to cover your PayPal Fees.

DON'T use "Friends & Family" payment method to avoid fees.
- As a Seller: Potentially can limit/freeze your account.
- As a Buyer: The seller is able to scam you because this does not offer "PayPal Protection" which means you are unable to open a dispute against them if they run off with your money.
DON'T ask your buyer to cover your PayPal Fees.
DON'T ask your buyer to cover your PayPal Fees.
DON'T ask your buyer to cover your PayPal Fees.

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. :')

I do apologize if I miss understand. You are saying that paypal doesn't make you charge a transcation fee?

Pisscat

This is so real, i am a seller and sure, fees can be annoying in a way that youre not getting the amount you expected, but i have NEVER asked my buyers to cover the fees. I myself tend to send a bit extra when paying others, but thats not mandatory for every buyer and i do it out of my own volition.

wolfsyrum if you're raising your prices as a whole to cover fees, that's not against their TOS as youre not asking them to pay the fees, theyre buying your art for the price your giving them! It's still getting your art's worth through money ^^
