Paypal Fees Amount Incorrect??

rockin_plumber

Sold a mobile phone on eBay today, wnet for £119 total with P&P

It got paid and them I noticed the fees seemed incorrect????

I always thought paypal fees were 3.4% of total + 20p for each transaction.

On a £119 transaction I would have expected £4.25 fees
BUT
They have charged me £5.44 fees which would equate to 4.4% + 20p for the transaction.

I know its only £1.19 but if they did this to everyone they would be making even more money than they should :mad:

Anyone else had this happen or did paypal change their fees, or am I just being rubbish at my sums

Was the payment from a different country ? There is a cross border fee for international payments on top of the normal fees.

It could have been...

The buyer has a Polish name and the paypal email address ends .pl

Address is in the Midlands so obviously in the UK
So may be using Polish banking details..

But I thought it would have broken this down in the transaction details

Have a look here :
Poland is 4.4% + 20p which adds up . Probably registered in poland but input a UK address ?

Thankyou sequence, that cleared that up then.
I did look but couldn't see anything obvious

Thankyou paypal, another £1.19 from my eBay sellings gone in fees :mad::mad::mad:
