this is very usefull, we take deposits from overseas customers by paypall & didnt think about it but before when they come in & get tattooed & pay the balance with deposit deducted we are loosing out!
i'd say this is about 10% of our customers, so soon mounts up!

Totally off topic, but I ordered a ring tone from Play.com 4 years ago, and its still in the packing stage ????????????
No joke either.

I regularly send payments to Golden Puma as gifts, and don't recall having paid a charge (as far as I know. I never hold money in my Paypal account as it's all done via Direct Debit and it doesn't seem to have charged me)

The charge for sending Jaye's £13 was a grand total of £0.07, which is neither here nor there.

I'm always tempted to put, in the comments box, "here is your birthday money from Uncle Ed and Aunty Ann"... ;)

Put "BLOOD FOR THE BARON!!!"

I used to put in on envelopes until I realised that it would then get opened by Homeland Securitty.

If anyone would like to send me money as a gift I am open to all donations.

My experience of this is that I once clicked 'Pay Now' on eBay and waited for two weeks with no items sent. When I questioned the seller, she responded with 'Well, it's your fault for sending an e-cheque!" I don't even know what an e-cheque is, or indeed how I sent one. Women often ignore me, so no change there, but I didn't do it on purpose!

Well I just gone to send a payment by gift and the charges have come out at close to 10% of the final fee. What a rip off, going to go the BACS route now, a bit slower and exposes you a bit more but with trusted sellers it shouldn't be a problem.
