It seems the fee that appeared in the transaction details is no longer there. When I initially received the payment last night there was a $7 fee in the Currency Conversion box. I never checked my balance either as I paid some of it out not long after.

 

Maybe it was a glitch? I'm stumped. paying in $ is fine people. I'm a and this thread is a complete waste of time.

 

Glitch or not I liked the thread :banana:

 

I need a beer.

 

Make sure you get an English pint, so you don't get less drunk on the conversion.

 

I asked for a pint in Michigan and got the strangest look ever. Mind you I asked for a pack of 20 as well and got an even stranger look :screwy:

 

wait till you ask where you can 'smoke a '...i nearly got lynched!!!

 

F.A.G is censored???????????? doh!

Just think about us trying to describe a little Jack Russell terrier as "spunky," and the looks we get from using that term in G.B.

rantrant What are you Brits and Canadians doing buying our American comic books anyway!!! Go collect Beano or Tintin or whatever it is you guys produce. :baiting:

 

Are any comics actually made in Canada? Or do all Canadian entertainers just go to America to create art? (shrug)

 

Or ASTERIX and THE SMURFS

 

And I believe practically every comic Marvel and DC print is actually PRINTED IN CANADA

 

At least that used to be the case when I still paid attention to moderns

Here's how Paypal works, for those of you still fumbling around in the dark. :insane:

 

International to UK transactions attract a fee of approximately 4%.

 

On top of this, when you withdraw the funds into a UK bank account, the conversion rate Paypal applies is approximately 3% worse than the bank rate for that day.

 

So, as an example, I receive $200 for a sale. After fees, I have $192 in my Paypal account.

 

I withdraw that $192 and the bank rate for the day is $1.60-£1.00. I should therefore receive £120?

 

Not so. Paypal use a bank rate in that example of around $1.66-£1.00, so I actually only receive £115.66.

 

If we go back to the original $200 that I sold my item for, a straight bank rate conversion gives me £125...but I actually only received £115.66. :cry:

 

Now, let's look at a sale made in Sterling. Gav has a book with a GPA of $160. Bank rate for the day is $1.60-£1.00, so he put it up for sale at £100. US buyer sends £100 out of his Paypal balance. Gav receives £96 after fees...and the buyer is charged the Paypal exchange rate, which is $166.

 

They get you coming and going. :insane:
