No PayPal Fees for Getting Chitika Payment?

I just got my first paypal payment from Chitika and noticed I wasn't charged a fee?

I've never seen this when getting other payments, even from larger companies.

I'm not complaining, but wondering; what gives?

Thanks.

 

I find it to be this way with a few companies. For example both Sedo and Linkworth payments are not charged fees. I read this in some companies FAQ a while ago, something about a special account they have with PayPal I believe.

 

Even I am surprised to see that Paypal didn't charge me for the transfer.

 

I thought it was odd too, but I'm not complaining .

 

Chitika likely uses PayPal's MassPay feature. That enables merchants to pay a ton of people at once more easily. PayPal charges the merchant 2% (with max $0.25) of the total pay and the recipients (us) get 100% of what was sent to us.

Great information tflight - I had no idea.

I'm like SamO - not complaining, but curious.

 

That's awesome, even I was not charged for LinkWorth.

 

Yeah when I got my first chitika payment last month I was pleasantly suprised to see this.

 

Paypal only charge when the money transfer is from bank account/creditcard. If you are transfering money from your paypal account(ie when the money is in your paypal account) to other person's paypal account, then they dont' charge money.

 

Normally the receiver is charged a % for receiving the money... but Chitika says on their website that their payments arent charged a fee by paypal...

 

That's not true. I get charged all the time when transferring money between PayPal accounts. Anyhoo, Chitika explains why we don't get charged on their blog.

 

The normal personal account does not have a receiving fee. Business and Upgraded accounts get charged.

 

I was under the impression that even personal accounts got charged... but not as high as business and premier accounts

 

Not if the transfer is made with existing funds....There is also a limit (Something like $500)

THis exception is not what Chitika is using

 

ok, most of the time when I was using my personal account I transferred from card or bank so thats probably the reason for the charges...

 

clicksor doesnt charge too.

chitika seems to charge now as my last payments were charged..but not from clicksor..

 

not situation now as in 2006 when u posted.
paypal is wating more than enough charge between paypal transffers.

i transffered 477USd and was charged 18USd so asked for refund.

Paypal dont charge for fee when you recieve or send. I am not sure but i use premium account and i never pay for the incoming fee at all.

 

Check #18 too.

Well, paypal don't charge on incoming fees theorirically bc send sends 10USD , I'll get 0.64USD less.
