Stupid question maybe!! PayPal :)

Thought I would ask the wisdom of you all here 🙂

I have sold a bit on here before so feeling a bit dumb (I have work brain!) - I got charged $150ish to my bank account from PayPal Australia earlier this week - am I correct in thinking the fees automatically come out of payments you recieve, and PayPal doesn't invoice you fees lump sum...I'm trying to trace the $150 I have been charged but can't think of what I have bought that hasn't come up from my PayPal account and bank statements.


I was going to contact them with the reference number of the payment but just thought I'd check to see if it is fees or a supposed payment as I have found some of them a bit hopeless in the past at understanding what I am saying so don't want to confuse them 😛

Thanks in advance 🙂

Do you mean that you have sold things on eBay in the last billing period and you have now been charged for the month's fees?

That invoice would be in your messages and in your Seller's account.

Most have automatic payment of their fees set up. so eBay charge you, send you an invoice (in my case on the 30th of the month telling me payment will be drawn btwn the 14th and 17th) and it gets automatically paid by PayPal.

This includes the whole month's fees from eBay - FVF's any listing fees etc

Also you should have received an email from PayPal saying "thankyou for your payment to......"

I don't know how much you sold last month but if you have your automatic fee payments to go through Paypal then that could be it, fees usually come out around the 1st or 15th of the month depending on your invoice date.

I got invoiced seller fees from eBay the same day for $99.50, so not my eBay fees. I will contact PayPal to sort it out, just didn't want to get through to them to find it was just fees. 🙂

do you have more than one selling account?

each account gets charged seperately (well mine do)

[*kats*]

Nope, only the one account 🙂

Have emailed PayPal now, hopefully will get an answer for it!

Thanks for your help guys 🙂

I would get onto quickly in case it's a security issue with your PayPal account.

Kopes, every time you post after me, I think that you are sending me love hearts!

(Thanks for the birthday cake BTW, that was a nice gesture)
