Paypal .30 non-refundable fee, anyone else got this?
I got a payment in late from a buyer after the item had been sold. So as I normally do I just refunded the payment. However, I noticed that all of sudden I had a cancelled transfer on my account do to a negative balance.
puzzled, I looked into this and it appears paypal now charges a .30 fee for all transactions regardless if they are processed or refunded.
anyone else seen this??

That's the first I've heard of that. Doesn't surprise me. They make money at every click of the mouse. I received payment in US funds and their "exchange rate" with built in fees makes it less in Canadian than US. Next day I send money in Canadian to US and again "loose" on the exchange.

PayPal are constantly chaning their policies and I went into their system to check on the refund issue. It seems they now charge a non-refundable fee of $0.30 when you issue a refund. See the response below directly from the PP web site;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Question: If a refund I send is accepted, are the fees from the original transaction credited to my account?
Answer : You receive credit for your original transaction fees based on the kind of refund you issue.
* When you issue a full refund using the Issue Refund link on the Transaction Details page, we credit your full variable transaction fee (1.9% to 2.9% of the transaction amount).
* When you issue a partial refund, we credit a percentage of the variable transaction fee, based on the amount of the refund.
Fixed fees - $0.30 USD per transaction - are not refundable. To learn more about variable and fixed transaction fees, click Fees at the bottom of any PayPal page.
