I've setup a website using UberCart, Drupal and Paypal. I'm currently testing now and I've been wanting to test the site live (not using the Sandbox). There is a subscription of $1 for 12 days ($12 total). A user bought the subscription and the first day was charged at $1 from his bank account. I recieved the money but I was charged .33 cents for the transaction. The user had no money in his paypal account but had linked to his Paypal account to a bank account. The transfer was made from his bank acount into my Paypal account. Does anyone know why I was charged 33% for the recurring payment? The website clearly states that transfers from bank accounts are free and are not charged at all (unlike credit cards, $0.30 + 2.7%). Was the payment considered a money transfer, or "sending" of money to a friend? I really can't figure it out. Why are there charges for this recurring payment? Any thoughts would be really helpful.
