Hopefully gratewhitehuntr can verify that there were in fact no fees as paypal stated.

Just wanted to let everyone know that it seems like the personal tab workaround is no problem. You do still need to use a bank account transfer though.

well I have completed 4 transactions now using the personal tab and haven't had a problem yet

no fee for getting the money at all

although i did put package was a used straight razor gift?
buyer ends up spending more then 120. i guess they do this not let people buy from outside UK?

ive recieved all kinds of items from all kinds of places and never had an issue with having to pay extra fees that werent well described in the ad...
i cant think of a country i havent recieved packages from.... once the sender pays postage its on its way.....
ive noticed that its usually double the cost to cross the ocean, which is understandbale, and expected...
but who did this guy have to pay an extra 20 too?
lately ive been coming to the understanding that paypal doesnt jst forward the shipping address to the sender/seller, but actually handles the shipping tooo?
i heard from a seller the other day" paypal is taking care of the shipping" ?

He means when you use the personal tab for payment. I think ebay doesn't know/think it's payment for goods (at least with the "other" option) and doesn't send your shipping address to the recipient.

Yesterday I've tried to open an account with https://www.revolutionmoneyexchange.com/
but it did not work for me.
First it stuttered for the ending .de in my emailadress
and at last (probably when it pulled my IP) it just kept hanging.

Thats a real pity because a competitor for paypal would really be due.

They finally answered my question. They are only in the US.

I really never paid attention to the fees,but I always knew they were there.It sucks but what the heck!

Keep in mind though, if paypal figures out what you have going on, they may choose to bill you for all the personal transactions that you've done.

They also may try to stick you with penalties or other dubious business that they slipped somewhere in the agreement you clicked when you signed up.

If you sell very much stuff (ie: many transactions), they also may freeze the cash in your account.
