OT paypal question::important!!!

I just used paypal to send someone $800 for a camcorder and my transaction says $800 but he got $776.50. Is there some sort of service charge on the receiving end????? never been a paypal receiver before. Doug

Paypal charges pretty much on any transaction now unless it is funded

by bank transfer, IIRC.

I have a 'premier' account...Paypal charges 2.9% on CC transactions...

...without a premier acct., you can only transfer $600/month (I think) to your checking acct., which kind of sucks if you sell some big $$$ items and want the cash immediately.
