Who pays the fees for a service?

[jeffmooman]

I recently paid a contractor using PayPal. In other words, I used PayPal to pay for goods and services (in this case, it was a service). Since it was for a service there is no buyer. Did the contractor pay the fee? Is it 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction?

Thanks

Hi @jeffmooman ,

Hope everything is well.

Seller or receiver of the funds will be paying for the fee in this case.

This link will give you better understanding about fees.

What are the fees for PayPal accounts? 

Hope this helps.

Keep safe.

Thanks. So it sounds like since he is selling a service, much like selling a product, he is paying the 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction. Is that right?
