I think only way is that you should be relying on other payment processors and not the paypal. Promote more payoneer and paytm among users.

Is it normal for paypal to charge a fee when you pay for an online purchase using paypal?
So then does paypal charge a fee when you receive money and also charge a fee when you pay for a purchase using paypal?

We must be understand it that paypal is not a charitable site. So it is not wrong if they are charging for their service.

My fees increased again, this is such a bummer. I know I withdrawn big money but the fees increased too.

If you have another option than it is better for you to quite Paypal.

[SUPERSINGH]

I wish there will be time when all websites pay fee for us and at least we can get complete payments without any deduction.

[ahmedo24]

It is either they pay fee for us or get better alternative payment systems that will have very little charges.

We know it is not a charitable site or organization. Paypal is a for profit business. It was spun-off from Ebay about four years ago. It has a current stock price of $103.59 and a market cap of $122 billion. Paypal was one of the first (if not the first) companies to offer an online payments solution. This does not mean it is the best solution or they have your best interest at heart. There are options. Even when we think we have no options there are indeed options. Never underestimate the consequences of a fee over your lifetime. They add up and eat away at you. Even major corporations try to reduce or even eliminate fees, taxes, duties etc that they pay. Costs add up and can reduce your bottom line.

Note: do you realize that even reputable stock brokers are no longer charging commissions? Imagine trading without fees its here. It is in the news. It started with new apps and has spread to other platforms. Sometimes fees are too high with no true justification. Have you ever experienced that? Brokers are not running a charitable site either but they have eliminated trading fees. Not only are fees too high but there is a realization that sinks in that sometimes fees don't have to be charged at all.

Aside from paypal, does a good bank charge you a fee to receive money like paypal would? Such as depositing cash, automatic recurring receipts, deposit a check, use your atm etc? No
Does a good bank charge a fee if you want to use your money like paypal would? No generally you can spend it without paying a fee.
Is a bank a for profit business just like paypal? Yes
Does paypal hold funds without paying interest on the balance? Yes Will a good bank hold your funds without paying interest? No
Can a bank come along and enter paypal's market? Yes there are no barriers to entry. Banks have various payment platforms even for online payments. There are many ways to send money online, offline anyline.
How about crypto? Does crypto have lower fees than paypal? Yes

In life there are many opportunities. Many options. Many roads. The same holds true for a simple online payment. There are options. When options are limited then progress is limited. When progress is limited then economic activity is limited. When economic activity is limited then the economy suffers. The masses suffer. When people want change but things are always done the same way yet expecting a different result. That is insanity.

It will be Golden time and sadly there are only few websites paying without any deduction of fee but no one can go against them.

PayPal knows there are too few options available to people so it can charge whatever it wants. Yesterday I redeemed 1500 FC and paid $1.13 to PayPal.

it is nearby 7.5 % it is some more. But I think other options are more expensive than it.

There is no competition in the market so PayPal can charge what they want and that's why I think twice before requesting for payment even at 10 dollars

I hope site owners can use other alternatives like payooneer, skrill, perfect money, bitcoin etc.

Payooneer, skrill and perfect money all are more expensive that paypal. I joined all these to get payment form clixsense.

[JASPREET]

At present am looking for ways to get paytm cash because I can even pay my electricity, water, mobile, gas, shopping with it.

[ahmedo24]

I hope site owners could consider paying through most popular payment processor for each country.

I am agree with you, if site of Paytm is option it is better for us. I am using it for YouGov and Rakuten.

Earlier I used to hate paytm but it's the best option for Indian users and this processor is recognized by the government also.

[Abigael]

I agree with you. The problem is that most sites want to pay through PayPal and don't consider that it is not popular for everyone. Having several payment processors should be something that should be implimented in online sites.

[skysnap]

I think paytm and payoneer would be good option for india. People would save a lot of money on fees in India that way.

[ahmedo24]

Paga and skrill is the best option for Nigerians working online at the moment.
