Not sure what you would mean by advice. It doesn't seem to make any sense I have to say and it does seem that for several reasons, a UK paypal account is actually the worst possible type of account there is. ... View more

Different transaction fees for different accounts?

For receiving $100 at a UK account I get a fee of $5.30 whilst at a China account I get a fee of $4.70 on $100. Both received from the same person, both received in US dollars. I wasn’t able to find details on the fees for these two different accounts. Any idea how these are calculated? ... View more

Well you said that but I can't see the word 'randomly' at all on this page https://www.paypal.com/uk/smarthelp/contact-us nor is there anything about chat anywhere there. No evidence it exists at all. If it was ever randomly available, where would one find it just out of interest? ... View more

I received a crazy message in my account asking me to provide ‘information’ but they haven’t said what the information is. I have to provide the information by the 22nd October or my account will be further limited…??   ... View more

>I have clearly stated the friends/family options and am not going to waste anymore of my time on you.   Clearly stated? My god. I think what you're struggling greatly to say is this:   "The request money option clearly states it's to pay a friend back but it's actually nothing to do with that at all, it's actually a business related goods and service money request. I realise how confusing that looks the way it is and I've no idea why they present it like that, but that's just the way it is." ... View more

>That's because you can ''request money'' from a friend by using one of the above options in the family/friends list   ???   For literally the BILLIONTH time, I used this option:   "REQUEST money Ask a FRIEND to pay you back—the FRIENDLY way."   I'm gonna repeat it because I really don't think you got it:   "REQUEST money Ask a FRIEND to pay you back—the FRIENDLY way." ...

>I listed the goods/services options and the friends/family options clearly in my very first post.   From your first post:   Goods/Services Payments. 1. Invoice or Money Request. 2. Send money > Goods/Services. 3. Paypal.me link (if its a personal account then there should be the option to tick a box to make it a goods/services payment before you submit payment).   Literally nothing about this 'Request money from a friend' option: "Request money Ask a friend to pay you back—the friendly way."   >Its not complicated at all if you look at the list.   Nothing about money requests from friends ANYWHERE in your list.   >However if you want to wade though each countries website and click at the top of each one you will see if the friends/family option is available for that country.   Ok it's something else they keep well hidden. ...

>ok after I enter the amount i get 2 options goods/services OR friends and family. HOWEVER as you have now said the other person is not in the UK then in some countries they do not have the friends/family option so to have saved time always best to cite countries involved. Also do they have a business account? If yes then new rules state they can't accept friends/family payments.   As stated in the original message, it's a personal account to personal account transfer.   I wasn't aware there were any limitations for certain countries, is there any documentation on that?   So to be clear:   Send money > friends / family (or trusted person).   Is a payment to friends and family and incurs no fee, while:   "Request money Ask a friend to pay you back—the friendly way."   Is not to receive money from friends or family at all but rather is a goods/service payment.   And a personal paypal.me link which no doubt doesn't mention the word family or friends in it is in fact a friend/family payment with no fee. It's like something out of Alice Through the Looking Glass. ... View more
