Thanks for the post, you answered my question. Honestly speaking I find the fees to be quiet hefty. I will definitely look into some of the alternatives mentioned here and research some others too.
I agree, they can get really hefty, especially when you charge more or multiple times. Hope the alternatives work for you! Very good information and great job keeping up the post! That is true.

I have recently wired money to my relative in US from India via PayPal and was trying to figure out if there is any fees which PayPal might charge my relative when they transfer money from there PayPal account to a Chase account based in NYC. Can you please let me know basis your experience if PayPal might charge my relative any additional money in such a scenario? The recent fee increases at PayPal are due to the fact that it was bought by venture capitalists, and as we know, such people ONLY care about money.
The first thing they did was to move customer service to the Philippines. Then they started raising fees. High-volume sellers used to pay 2. If you refunded money to a customer, you used to get ALL your fees back. Then they started keeping the cent fee, and starting in May they will keep ALL fees.
I have already talked to a lower-ranking person at PayPal who says that if there is an accidental double-payment, they MAY refund the fees for the double-payment if you ask them. But frankly, all of this sucks. Fortunately, I am phasing my business out. The real problem is that PayPal has no real competition — heaven knows why.
Unfortunately, getting paid less often will only save you 30 cents for each payment you consolidate. Is it really worth the risk getting your payments later in order to avoid 30 cents? As for the way you withdraw money, I always transfer it to my bank or use my PayPal debit card. I predict, however, that PayPal will begin to charge for transfers to your bank.

More important, I believe Paypal terms do not actually permit business accounts to solicit payments this way and they COULD shut you down, with or without a refund of your balance. Wire transfers and checks are still common and I encourage them because zero fees. Online transfers between same-bank clients and Zelle across banks , both zero fee, are becoming more common. I find that people using Paypal are generally more lacking in trust than credit-card payers, and chargebacks more common.
Also, my credit card processor via Costco has a fixed 1. I understand the wish to avoid paying fees, but would you provide a service and NOT charge for it? Whether you sell online or in person, if a credit card is used for payment the seller will pay a bank fee. Why would a bank provide you a free service? Paypal is providing a payment platform so they charge a fee for you to use their service. Accepting payment as friends and family is great until the first time something goes wrong, then the buyer has no recourse.
I tried to opt-in to receive payments once a month to avoid fees. There is no option to do so. I called customer service and they say they never heard of it. Any specific directions to apply this change to ones Paypal? You would either need to invoice once a month or just not take the money out except for once a month. How I wish my business is Paypal. I saw in your post that PayPal didnt charge you for transferring money?
Would u know if its because im paid from the US and my bank is here in n the Philippines? Last few times I used it there are still fees on friends and family tried sending g to a friends and they still wanted to charge the fee?

Do you have info about this?
Thanks in advance! Mastercard and Amex charge higher percentage so would need to charge higher in that case. I have discovered that it was the credit card companies that prohibited merchants from passing on processing fees to clients.
Our CPA advised that we build these processing fees into our price and as seller, we cover the processing fee for the client should they wish to use their credit card or use another method. This is the best way to avoid getting into trouble with credit card companies and any other payment processing companies. Hi I have also a problem with!
