CrackersMcCheese pooh-bah Registered: 14/01/2002 Posts: 2489	Why are Paypal CS so f*****g cryptic in their emails? All I want to know is... can a US buyer pay me in pounds sterling? Also have I got this right... for me to cover my fees, I have to charge the buyer 3.4% AND an additional .5% for the cross border charge in Sterling?

Though it is highly convenient, the company just isn't trustworthy. I of course will be no help in ansewring your question, nor will i even sugest an alternative. Matthew

(2) I think you've got the fees mostly nailed, plus the per-transaction ding to actually withdraw funds to your bank account. Cheers
