Fees Help

Hello, 

 

I was wondering if anyone can help me? 

 

A business paid me, a business, for a product = £70 and I got charged £3.28 in fees. 

 

I have tried to work out the math so I can be aware of how much I am being charged for different amounts.

 

This is not 3.4% + 20p.

 

This is not US currency £1.99 + 3.4% + 20p. (Although he is from the US it says £ when I received the money)

 

Can anyone solve the mystery of the fees being £3.28...?

 

Thank you!

Cross border fees would have applied.

Hi, 

 

Thank you for responding so quickly! 

 

The Cross Border fees and the standard fees: £1.99 + 3.4% + 20p = £4.57

 

But I was charged £3.28.

 

Is there something I am missing? 

 

Thank you!!

Thank you @nevadasmith!! 

 

Where did you find this information? I need to show my client as he is going to be paying the fees. On the PayPal website it still says the 3.4%. 

 

I am so glad I finally know why I was charged that amount!

 

Thanks again!!
