My free credit on ProPay just ended and I noticed something. They take money when you get cash and when you withdrawal it to your checking account. I know PayPal offeres transfers for free. Do other places do the same or is this normal to charge you 2 times?
I would stop going with ProPay because of this but I have no other way of doing credit cards without paying more.

I think ProPay charges .35 for each transaction (+ the discount rate) AND .35 for every withdrawal. The advantage is that you can request a withdrawal any time, where as most places have it set for like ever 15 or 30 days.

Yeah buy why does it cost to take the money out? PayPal can do it for free why cant ProPay?

I had a guy pay me $16.95. ProPay took $0.94 when it was added to my ProPay account. When I took that out they took $0.46 to make it $15.55

Theres no answer to that question.

Everybody charges for differnet things, depends on the company.

Some hosting companies offer free IP
some hosting companies Charge you 5$ it.

Short Answer. They want more money.

Thats what business is all bout. :D

What could that possibly accomplish? I would recommend if you don't like someone's pricing, simply don't use them.

Here's an example of double-dipping that chaps my but-tox:
Someone sent me a payment via PayPal the other day. They paid the fee. So I get the payment, and PayPal charges again because I have a verified whateveryoucallit account.

Thought PayPal only charges a fee when you get the cash?

Only Premier/Business accounts are charged a fee when receiving money.

Users are charged for check withdrawals ($1.50), but they are not charged for electronic deposits (in or out).

I was wrong. The lady that sent it to me told me she also had to pay, but it turns out she's just stupid.
