Fee question

It seems I did it right. I sent a friend $800.00 from my checking account and was charged a $23.00 fee. How could I have avoided the upcharge?

 

Thanks, Cubed

Is there any way to reverse the charge now that is done?

If they use the 'refund' option then the % part of the fee is refunded.

Then if you send it friends / family again and fund it from your bank account it should be free but you see any charges normally before you send the payment.

Thanks Kernowlass, I guess the only question is how to get them to refund right? I'm not sure they are willing to do that..

How would I know If they use the 'refund' option?

 

Do I go ahead and pay the same amount again and it will get refunded, you say?

 

Can you this another way please, I don't understand,

 

Thanks in advance!

I was hoping to understand how I was charged a fee?

 

I did not see an option for family and friends when I made the transaction and it seems there is no way to reverse the charges now.

 

Did not understand the explanation I was given and asked for clarification.

 

I'll simply not use PayPal again for monetary exchanges between friends and save myself a chunk of money.

Kernowlass,

 

Would you reply to the last post I made and I promise I won't ask anything again.

 

Thanks!

So sorry i went on holiday on a cruise and logged off shortly after responding to your post.

I realise I should have cancelled the holiday and replied to your posts.

 

If you don't get advice from a VOLUNTEER that you want then feel free to contact customer services.

I assume this is supposed to be funny?  "I realise I should have cancelled the holiday and replied to your posts."

 

I don't know you, are you being snarky?

 

I'm still out the Fee from using PayPal to pay back money I borrowed from a friend.
