Why the transaction costs so high in paypal?

I just use paypal to do my business, but I found that paypal got my $5.50 every $130, this is so high, and I am in china.

Does anyone have this problem?

 

Yes..Everyone is equal..TRANSTAAFL..

 

Thanks, you are right, but the fee of momeybookers is so low, why not use it?

 

Yup.As DON said,
Moneybookers supports local payment methods only 30 more countries.
You are from China...I think you can have both..

 

Yes, I have both, but no one use pay to me through moneybookers.

 

Paypal is a monpoly rite now so they are taking advantage of that and also they run from US where i think 5$ wont be much

 

Paypal is most widely used processor but moneybookers is not so we have to bare the cost paypal take

 

But you know, doing oversea's business, the profit margin is so low.

 

Then use alternatives like alertpay, moneybookers..

 

I try to use them, but the customers are not choosing these, and my website provides these payment methods.

 

Yes thats the reason paypal charges high fees they know people are using them and not the others... you cant help this but just hope some day big alternate comes up

 

Yes, I hope only....

 

Because most of memers prefer use paypal...

 

Until we see a competitor with Paypal surface, we won't see a reduction in the processing percentage.

 

Paypal will charge just high commission for its good service.
I use paypal and it is good for me.

 

Yeah I wonder why it is so high too, I mean it isn't like no one is using their service? I can see if they had buildings nationwide and a million servers and staff or something. Most of their service is digital and shouldn't cost that much to run. I created a script that automatically organizes PayPal transactions, and I am amazed that I pay about $3,000 in PayPal fees alone per year.

 

agree,,,i think paypal give too high fees!!






but i dont have any choices, paypal is used by the most people in the internet
