WOW Paypal Fees - Did I miss something???

[SunshineGirl]

Do you think Tricia with these changes you could send an email to any of us who cashed out in June letting us retract our paypal cashout? I would rather not send any of my money to paypal!
I do understand if that isn't going to be possible I was just hopeful.

Unfortunately, there is no way in our system to just cancel them. We would have to manually credit the accounts back. Then all of those manual credits would show up for tax purposes for us as payouts. And they would count toward Super Member status as well.

I'm sorry that Paypal is screwing you over.

I just don't understand why they didn't notify us of these changes. They are always sending emails for solicting purposes. Communication is key if you want to keep customers. If they would have notified us, I think it wouldn't feel as though we are been taken advantage of. I understand that it cost money to run a business, and that's fine, but let me know before you start dipping into my money. I also think they are going to lose a lot of traffic because of this.

This was only my second time cashing out. I thought it was kinda cool to get my earnings in cash. Thankfully I'm not in need of it though, so back to gift cards I go.

Thanks for other options, Tricia!

I'm sorry, April. My cashout was for 245.00.

Thanks for letting us know tricia. I fully understand as a CPAs wife. It just really stinks that paypal is being so silly about money. I won't becashing out through them anymore either. Back to gift cards. The sad thing was I was really debating on an amazon gift card or paypal, as this money is going for Christmas shopping. Figured paypal money would allow me to shop through SR and earn more credits! O, well.

In light of this has any thought been put into visa gift cards?

I was charged a fee today for the first time at paypal for my SR payment.
I had another payment without a fee. I was told if the payment is sent with the sender paypal balance or bank card there is no fee for me, if it is sent with credit card or debit card then I am charged 4.9% plus .30 per transaction.

Trish is this true statement, the payment I got for May had no fee. I want to know if paypal told me the real deal. Can you clear this up for me. I know other people have been asking this question. I thought they charged fees if you had a upgraded account, with paypal debit card. I am confused.

I think Paypal lied to you. We had all of the money sitting in our paypal account when it was paid out to everyone. I think it was really the change that they made to all of your accounts as of June 3. I'm guessing whoever told you that at Paypal didn't even know the new policy.

I wonder if the other payment that was given to you was done as a personal payment instead? Under what Cate posted, people could have their accounts cancelled for calling them personal payments if they are not really.

I just went in and added some language to the cashout pages so that at least people will know that they might get assessed a fee. Can you imagine how much money Paypal is making all of a sudden??

I'm sorry that this happened to so many; but I will not be using PayPal either. I was just sitting here thinking of what I was going to do with my $$; well it's not going to PAYPAL!
