I apologize - I have tried to read through the paypal site info but I am still unsure what is going on. Each month I get $450 from a company I do some work for. I have a regular account that doesn't take credit cards. Usually, they would send a regular instant payment and $5 would be deducted by PayPal. Recently, they switched to e-checks, and I still paid $5 in fees. This month, they forgot to pay, so I just sent a request for money from my PayPal account. Now I see that I paid the 30 cents plus 2.9% in fees. Also, it seems like I read on here that sending money using a bank account or PayPal balance should equal zero fees. But isn't paying with an e-check doing just that? So what was the $5 I was paying before? I guess my question is totally convoluted. I'm just not understanding where the $5 I was paying before was coming from. Can anyone tell me that? I need to figure out the best way to invoice this company. They liked getting the request from me better than remembering on their own, but it has cost me much more.
