 Got the usual Email from paypal to say that someone had paid 6.99 and when I logged into my account they had charged me A 0.44 fee and the total was only 6.55 into my account.  Is this a new idea, as its not happened before

Your paypal payment has never been an invoice and is always directed straight from the buyers payment before the rest is credited to your balance.

 

You only get an invoice from ebay every month with their fees.

For as long as i have been selling on ebay and receiving payments via paypal they have always charged a fee.

 

They are separate companies, you pay ebay to advertise and sell your item and are invoiced those fees monthly.

 

You pay paypal to be able to receive instant payments from buyers including card funded payments.

Those payments are normally 3.4% + 20p per transaction and are debited before the balance is credited to your paypal account balance.

I have recieved many payments via ebay and know that i have to pay a fee too both but its the first time I have had 1 deducted from an invoice. Just wondered if they had started chargeing each invoice seperately instead of monthly.
