    Boo Hoo no email for me.
    Actually i've just come scross this thread cause I was looking to see if there was any discussions taking place on the new ruling coming into effect in July (at least that's how i understand it) according to the new user aggreement that I did get emailed yesterday.
    It reads as though if you don't have enough funds in your Paypal account (which I never do) and it has to take money from your debit/credit card that its associated with, they will now charge 3.4% - 4.4%.
    Therefore I will have to keep funds in my Paypal account that isn't earning any money just to be sure I don't end up paying fees when I make a purchase.
    So that now means Paypal make money on the seller and buyer
    Anyone else read their updated user aggreement (incidentally it was towards the bottom under a lot of mumbo jumbo that I didn't take in)
    The end is nigh

    I wouldnt see that being a smart move.
    that would be the first fees for eBay buyers

    I don't think anything's changed.
    The fee doesn't seem to apply to commercial transactions, just personal, which it did anyway.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think if you send money to someone as a personal payment e.g gift, household expense or money owed then you'd pay a fee if it came from your card. It's been like that for a little while now.
    If you pay using the 'Purchase' tab or from eBay etc then you won't have to pay that fee, they'd get fees from the seller anyway.

    I hope that made sense...I'm not sure it did

  • I had an email through to my buying account as well. I've sold something, but can't see where I go about claiming for the voucher. Has anyone figured this out?
