Paypal 's fee is related to your specific country and the policy .

IF you are a USA User , fee is the least - 2.9% , no withdraw charge ，if you are Europe user fee is 3.9% i think with withdraw fee .

Asia users are charged the most , 3.5% + $35

Sorry about kicking this off - and then getting it wrong...proving maths and Bushmills do not mix.

I was trying to work out how much to pay someone such that they got exactly the amount agreed, so that I covered the fees. It's not as easy as it looks, because, as was pointed out, you have to pay fees on the extra you added on to pay fees.

I'll have it sussed in a jiffy, I'm trying to get my maths up to scratch for my OU studies, this is good practice.

So you only have 2 choices :

1 : add £3.73 more in your sales price .

2 : forget about this profit loss in trade


Paypal 's service i think is at easy using , fast pay .

But still the fee is high

Please take this in the spirit it is intended.

If the amount of money sent = S and the amount of money received = R

Then

R = S - 0.2 - (S x 3.6%)
So

R + 0.2 = S(1 - 0.036)

Which means that

S = (R + 0.2) / 0.964

That is all assuming the 3.6% is charged on the 20p fixed charge which I assume it will be.

Much easier to use the web site to calculate it for you.
And yes I am a bit of a geek.

From here:

https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/we...side&countries=

the fee is 3.4% + £0.20 and not 3.6% + £0.20

Annoyingly I did, probably after they had to be fair, but before I knew it exisited.

Paypal extended the cover they provide for eBay to all purchases (non-gift), eBay or not, within the last 2 year iirc. It was probably to attract web retailers to use them in preference to credit cards.

IF it was up to me... (and thank god for you lot it isn't)

Anyone who requests a gift payment should be banned from here and paypal.
Anyone who sends a gift payment deserves to be ripped off.

Simples.
