    How much do u think paypal should charge on receivng an amount of $5.00..?

    guess .. how much did they deduct for me .. $0.50 for every 5.00$..
    I received the amount from two people and for both paypal deducted the amount as mentuioned above..

    is it not 2.9% + $0.30 USD..according to that it comes out to be 0.445$ for every 5.00$..
    but why did they deduct 0.50$ for 5.00$

    you can ask your friend make payment using owed payment option..so you can't be deducted

    Well, Paypal Charges is 3.4% of the amount + 30 Cents.

    And That 2.9 was some years before if am right. The new details are from Paypal's Official Site itself..

    Well, go to the transaction details and look clearly to the right of the Sender Name and you can see Whether they are verified and US or No Us Resident.

    And Yeah, If You are hanging out with US - US transactions, Simply tell your Payee to Use the personal Option so No one risks taxes :D

    And one its out of the country, The receiver will leave up some taxes. better ask the payee to Add the tax amount too once they send you funds.. Did you get that huh?

    Now a days PayPal is charging more than previous days. I don't know what happened to PayPal. For sending $10 it is deducting $1. If this continues to happen like this, we have to search for other option.

    All the Cross-Border Payments is 3.9% + $0.30 ($3000 and below)
    2.9% + $0.30 is only for the Domestic Payments (US > US)
