You might be dealing with a scammer.
PayPal doesn’t charge activation fees, approval fees and doesn’t charge fees to release funds. Provide shipment tracking number in the PayPal transaction in your PayPal account or update order status to release funds sooner through the “Add tracking info” button if the payment is on the 21 day hold.
PayPal automatically deduct their fees from incoming payments according to the fee chart:
- Commercial Transaction Rates
- You’re in South Africa (ZA) so the domestic payment fee is 3.40% + fixed fee and int’l payments fee is 4.40% + fixed fee
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
