On 9/8 I was sent a payment for some work I did. I have done work for the same company in the past, and never had any problems in getting paid, and was never charged any fees, despite the payments being in either AUD or USD (I am in the UK). This time I had to manually accept or refuse the payment. As I wasn't expecting this and didn't read the email properly, I failed to click the "accept" button. On 2/9, I was informed my payment had been cancelled and returned back to the sender. I contacted them, and they said they would resend it. I received this re-sent payment yesterday, and this time clicked to "accept" it. For some reason though, a fee of approximately 6% has been deducted by Paypal. Looking back at the original payment from 9/8, there was no fee charged that time. I have contacted the company again, and they say there should NOT have been a fee to receive my money, and have told me to contact Paypal. Just trying to understand why this fee has been applied. The only explanation I can come up with is the fact that the payment had to be re-sent. Also, the original payment was accidentally sent to the wrong address (I then added that additional address to my account), but sent to the correct address this time at my request.
