withdrawing money from Paypal could cost £5

Be very careful if you are withdrawing money from Paypal as it could now cost you £5.

They are offering a new expediated 1-2 day option at top of page, which costs £5. Many folks may not realise this until it is too late.

  • Could someone complain to the Fsa that they believe this £5 charge is unlawful, in the same way that the current bank charges court case alleges they are?

    Paypal would presumably then have to prove it cost them £5 (including a reasonable profit) to process this service

    Well banks charge for CHAPS transfers at like £25, for faster payments. So i don't see why PayPal can't charge.
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies
