Paypal Fees for Personal A/c

Hi all,
I've a personal account at Paypal and I've been observing from the last 5 transactions,Paypal has been charging fees every time.

I don't know if those payment were made through Paypal credit/credit card , thats why I'm not sure. Has anyone else been experiencing such changes?

I mean have they started charging fees like Premier A/c now to Personal a/c as well? Or were they charged because they were credit transactions?

Thanks,
Refresher

 

Paypal has changed its fees structure and it no longer depends on the type of your account.

They have instead classified transactions into commercial and personal with all commercial transactions attracting fees, irrespective whether yours is a personal or premier account!

Then what's the different between premier & premier account?
If you have premier account,Then there is no need to create personal account???

 

Now, there is no difference.
And its better to keep a premier account as it has more facilities than a personal account.

I am very confused...Why paypal still allows 2 accounts per person? if so,premier account is enough

 

But how do they know whether the sender is my family/friends?

 

Of course, it is impossible for them or any stranger to know who is in your family and who is not!

They would rely on your good self to help them determine the same. If you continue to receive funds from one and all under the personal transaction, it would become easy for them to know that you are not honest...as simple as that!

So, this means they are going to charge fees for each payment I receive,, or is there a way to exempt yourself from it? Because I receive payments in small amounts, ranging from 5 to 20 $ at a time....

That's bl**dy unfair

 

So, How have you and the others coping up with the situation? Any tips as to how to reduce the amount of fees? One thing I can think is to ask for collective payments, but that wouldn't help much IMO

 

you can ask your clients to pay you through personal option, but dont play it tooo much otherwise they will know about it

 

Yes me too.
AFAIK,this is new PP rules to earn more $$$ and prevent people from abusing personal account to accept business payment.

 

Because of this i have created both the accounts
It is always better if we create..

 

i do not think three is any such option,

as every time i have to pay for receiving payment.

 

There is no use of Personal account anymore in my opinion! Just my 2 cents!

 

Better pay fees and carry on.

too many personal transactions can be harmful

or switch to some other payment method - AP , MB or LR

 

How much do the business account charges per ordinary transaction?
