Fees receiving payment

[CC37]

I have received a payment from a friend (from the same country) and I paid a fee of £5 of £129. Why is this ?

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 also 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.
