Huge fees

Hello. All international money transfer solutions have reduced fees but I see PayPal has constantly increased the fees and now I see a fee on my last payment of more than 5,4% ??? 5,43% to be exact!! That is huge and I will probably have to find another provider soon and quit using PayPal. It's outrageous.

Yep lots of payment processors out there but personally as a buyer i prefer sellers that offer paypal for that buyer protection.

So when i sell thats why i offer it, if i get more buyers then that offsets the higher costs.

But you must choose what works for you.

ok then much cheaper if you fund it from funds in your paypal balance OR bank account, if you use a card fees are much higher.

In current economic environment with low rates everywhere in the world, the 5,43% fee is waaay too much.

I am investigating Google Pay and Revolut.com

If PayPal wont revert the huge fees to previous state - that was big but manageable, I guess we will have to move to another provider.
