Why am I being charged for people paying me back money they owe me.  I am not selling anything?  Just lent them money and am being paid back.

Its down to how the payment was SENT to your account.

1. If they sent using money > goods / services option then paypal would see you as a seller and would charge you a fee.

2. If they had sent using the send money > family / friends option then you would have had the payment with no fee.
