merchant fees, personal account

[s190]

Hi everyone,

On my bank account I have several fees from paypal categorized as "merchant fees": a 1 dollar fee and a 4 dollar fee. I don't understand why I'm getting merchant fees when I have a personal account, but I want to know why so it doesn't keep happening

thanks

That could be the term your bank uses but when you make a purchase, $1 temporary charge is made to validate the card and then it gets removed. Never heard of a $4 one. May want to ask you bank or PayPal customer services:

1. Log on.
2. Click HELP at the top menu.
3. Scroll down and click CONTACT US.
4. Scroll down to click CALL US or other contact options.

Call early, during business hours, west coast time to try to get a US rep.
