Getting Rid of Paypal Fees?

    Is there any way to completely get rid of them when you send payments? I'm opening up a site and I don't think it'd be very profitable because of the fees.

    I remember reading about some Mass-pay program or something on a GPT site which made it so members wouldn't have to pay fees. Does that mean they pay the fees or did they pay a one-time fee for it?

    You don't pay the free if the money is sent to you, it just gets deducted from the gross amount.

    The gift thing works, but if you send a low amount of cash you've gotta pay the fee which is only like 1-2c anyway.

    You can ask your buyer to send money as gift or ask them to cover the fee if they want to send it normally. :)

    Yes, personal transactions are without any fees, I recently received payment via personal gift and there were no fees involved.

    Try using the personal payment: option... Do not use Mass Pay.

    Sending money once as a gift is ok but if you send lots of transaction this way paypal will doubt it.

    Is there a limit for gifts?
