Stupid question maybe!! PayPal :)

[*kats*]

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 🙂

Well with an avi pic like that,  WOW, maybe there is a Freudian slip involved. 

Kidding, (sort of, (this part is invisible)) I know you are married.

No, really I know I can send you love hearts anyway.

Your OH would smile at the thought.

<in writing that only Kopes can see> sending hearts right back to you, you're always such a gentleman </in writing that only Kopes can see>

katb, by the way, it's not a stupid question.

That's what the forums are for.

Thanks guys and lol!!

Email seemed the easiest option with weird work hours and not having a house phone working - I always forget to call about stuff so I email on my work breaks when I remember! 😛

I heard back and they don't know the reference number so they think maybe it is fraud...just checked my bank statements so they can find date and exact amount to trace it and found another one for the exact amount yesterday. Will give them a call today if I don't hear back soon!!

Sigh...but if it is fraud it will be nice to get $300 back that I thought I must have owed or spent!!!

A few deleted comments going on in here!!!

Well just to give an update - thankgod for the suggestion of calling - I was having some back and forth emails through different staff members of PayPal telling me the $151.31 was the conversion of $99.59 of fees to eBay international, even though it was 2 transactions equalling $250.90...got on the phone with eBay who told me they only took $99.59 so contact PayPal. Within a minute, the lady could tell me it was from my bill to Telstra, the amounts weren't the same due to having balance in my PP account. Duh.

All sorted now, phew!! But geeze.
