    OK I just found here
    https://www.paypal.com/IntegrationCenter/ic_masspay.html

    Paypal will charge 2% of amount or max $1 per payment to the buyer...
    So if buyer sends $10, he will be charged only 20 cents.
    And if he sends $100 or $1000 or $10000 (10k is max i suppose) - he will be charged $1 max. :eek:


    So i will always tell my buyer to pay via mass pay and I will ask him to pay $1 less :D

    but how many buyers know how to use mass pay.. you just blow your sale becasue it is to much trouble for them to work out..


    Most people are not a computer savy as the oneson the board. .

    It dont require much skills.
    but yes, for large amount, you can ask the buyer to pay via mass pay.
    Also, if you want to send to 1 user, there is already 1 field there, no need to upload file.

    The buyer (person sending payment) doesn't incur any fees from using Mass Pay, right?

    Yes it's $1 per transaction flat rate.

    Has anyone ever heard of any kind of dispute or chargeback using mass pay? I'm just thinking it could be a good method to receive payment for large amounts and have that added security of not receiving a chargeback like you can do with users who pay by CC ..

    You can still dispute from a masspay I think. However they are done via paypal balance, so no chance of CC chargeback.

    My question is this, how can you pay someone without them incurring any charges?
