I sent some money to my mother as a gift.  The funds were from my Paypal balance, and as expected, I wasn't charged a fee.  However, she was charged a fee, that was taken out of the amount I sent.  She has a personal Paypal account, not a merchant account, just like mine. I know that a potential solution is that the transaction was set as a "goods and services," but I didn't even see that option through the transaction process.  I repeated the process (without finishing it) to check again, and I don't see it anywhere. Am I not checking properly to confirm that her account is a personal Paypal account?  Or mine?  I can't figure this out. And in any event (I think I know the answer to this one), is there any chance Paypal can reverse this transaction and refund the fee? Thanks for any help, Danny ... View more

Hi all -- I can't seem to find this exact answer. I have  a Paypal Personal Account. I want to transfer funds into a Paypal Merchant Account from the balance in my personal account (i.e., not from a CC or bank account) Is this doable?  Is there a fee?   Some background -- I would like to link a bank account to the Paypal personal account.  When I try to do this, Paypal gives me an error that this bank account is already linked to too many other papyal accounts.  This is not the case however -- it WAS linked to a merchant account that I had at one point, but not anymore.  Hence, I must move the money an extra step to withdraw it.   Paypal has not been helpful in this so far.  If you know of a real number where I can talk to a real person, that would be good I suppose. That's all.  Thanks! ... View more
