Paypal fee policy change

[jzmtl]

Heads up, paypal just upped their fee again.

Even if you have a personal account, sender have to choose "personal" when sending payment or you'll get charged fee regardless. And this is in u.s and canada. If one of the party is located outside, you'll have to pay 1% (depends on other party's location) fee regardless, for sending AND receiving!

This sucks, too bad there is no alternative.

That's yet another reason why I like trading or bartering, no greedy middleman to pay

At the risk of sounding greatly unpopular, I think the charges are reasonable actually.
