I just curious, do we get charged by paypal if we sell something in ebay and receive payment with paypal ?

thanks

ebay charges u a percent

paypal does not

ebay gets 5%

the payer pays paypal a % depending on what type of account they have

Yes, users of Business/Premier accounts do get charged a fee for receiving payments. Personal accounts do not, but they are limited to echeck/balance transfer payments. Accepting credit cards via PayPal does require having a Business/Premier account.

if like that , why my account get charged by paypal when i received money from my friend.

I got 14$ from my friend then Paypal take 0.71$
And I'm not in paypal business account though.

eBay had raised their lowest final value fees to 5.25% recently.

You get charged if you're using a premier account. I hate the fees that comes with it - takes a good cut off my eBay profits each time.

EG: I sell a US$70 item (+ S&H)

eBay takes close to $2 for the FVF
Paypal takes close to $2 in fees.

I take home $66.

My conversion rate is US$1:S$1.77.

I take home S$116.82.

Not too bad I suppose. It beats merchant accounts in a way. But eBay is really feeding off my wallet big-time :eek:

so i'll take only money order or personal checks then.
no paypall , ebay already ripped me with the commison.

anytime money enters your account you are charged. ebay doesn't charge you anything extra to accept paypal for their auctions.
