Paypal Refund Fee
 

I gave a refund via paypal, and they charged a 78 cents fee? When did this start happening? It has been awhile since I've used paypal, wonder why.....

Is it this?

Amendment to the PayPal User Agreement
Effective Date: Aug 10, 2010

Refund Fee. Section 8.5 (Additional Fees) is amended to add a new refund fee. If you refund a Purchase Payment, we will retain the Fixed Fee portion of the Purchase Payment Fee. The buyer’s Account will be credited with the full Purchase Payment amount and the Fixed Fee portion of the Purchase Payment Fee will be deducted from your Account in addition to the amount of the refunded payment. The Fixed Fee will depend on the currency of the Purchase Payment and is listed in 8.4(c).

Whoa - i missed this agreement amendment. They will RETAIN a fee even for refund!?!?!

Thieving scoundrels - no wonder they do auto-refunds to buyers...and if Pa yp al INITIATED the complaint and process the refund, they still make money.

THIS is a ground for a solid law suit.

Wow...this is shady as hell! WTF

Wow can't believe I missed that amendment, thanks for the post.

Yep, this is why I must be patient, and stick to Moneybookers and Payment whenever "I do" sell on ebay, which is very RARE.
