PAYPAL - HOW TO AVOID CHARGES

(1/6) > >>

kuwahero:
A large majority of us on this site sell stuff to one another and use paypal. Either to send or receive money, and if your like me hate being charged for accepting money.

Well I have discovered a little loophole to help avoid charges, which some may already know but I thought I would share for the benefit of the RAD family. Now this only really works outside Ebay and Paypal assume you know the person you are sending/receiving money from. So addresses need to be exchanged seperately via email/pm. You would also have to ensure you trust this person in case of things getting lost, etc. Refunds could be a sticking point otherwise.

Log into Paypal as you would normally and click the send money tab. This will bring up the following screen

Fill the info in as normal but under Purchase dont select anything. Click the tab Personal on the right and a new screen will appear like this

On this screen choose gift or personal payment owed and send money. When the other person receives it there is no paypal charge.

If anyone would like to make a donation, to say thanks for my money saving scheme. Then send it to the RADBMX fund and mark as Kuwahero GIFT. Remember to use the method above :LolLolLolLol:

Keep it RAD

Cheers Marc :daumenhoch:

Have had a few people now send me money this way and none of them have mentioned that. If its true then its not such a good thing. Can anyone else who has used this method confirm this

Stella Dave:
Will give it a try, cheers!

Jocks, I hate that! >:(
