Hi all I need to send a Paypal request for £31.13, what would be the total I need to ask for before Paypal take their slice. The request is from someone in Russia.

I can't help with the amount as I'm rubbish at the cross currency costs. However if you are planning to send anything to Russia be careful, stuff has a habit of getting stuck at customs out there for ever which usually results in a PayPal claim for INR. eBay warned about The Russian Federation issues for a long while, but I think they took the warning off recently. I still will not send there .I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Thanks for the advise.
Would this apply to something purchased off Ebay, could the buyer still get the payment reversed.0 -
