This rule has always been in place and will continue to do so. Amazing. Euro zone customers still have to pay Paypal 1 Euro for every bank withdrawal below 100 Euros.

They take twice as long to do it as Google Checkout which sweeps all funds within 48 hours. PayPal make the vast majority of their revenue 'on the float' about $12M per quarter. Eventually, when you nickel and dime someone enough, they think about that straw and the camel.

I know that is how Moneybookers works. PayPal doesn't make any money on personal transactions. That's what I'm shocked about. @ # 8

Ebay will be as greedy as they can possibly be, as would all of us if we were in ebay's position. Ebay isn't a charity. Their purpose is to make as much money as they can for their shareholders. Ebay can charge as much as they do because they deliver customers. Not many other sites do. You get what you pay for. #8 Of course it can.

I'm astonished to learn that Ebay does that in other countries. Definitely a rip off. Ebay makes plenty of $$ without resorting to penny ante cr*p that really adds up in their favor. Can this company get any more greedy?? In the US, Paypal doesn’t charge us withdrawals. I’m astonished to learn that Ebay does that in other countries. Definitely a rip off.

They're top notch. 6# You should also offer Google Checkout, they charge less, are better to detect fraud payments and give some real sellers protection. They’re top notch.

Once they get this sort of basic customer service right, then they will be much more popular, saving me 25p here and there is not going t do it for me. This never ending raft of innovations whiffs a little of desperation. Are they in trouble? We offer paypal on our website, but also nochex, and good cash/cheques, people are not held to ransom (sorry, couldn't resist :) Paypal blocked and then reversed a perfectly legitimate payment of mine to a service provider as a result of which it has set me back by weeks and lost me custom.

Wonder if they will tinker with REAL fees to balance it up with the SPIN about this "free" withdrawal They are giving you nothing, the majority of withdrawals are free anyway !
