PPal fees

I have a client that says he gets charged a fee whenever he tries to pay me via PPal. I told him the only time I've ever heard of someone being charged a fee is if they say the payment is for "goods or service" or they are using a credit or debit card. I instructed him to say he is "sending to a friend" and to have the money come from his checking account. He claims it still doesn't work but won't allow me to go over the account with him. It's his wife's account and for some reason he doesn't want to ask for her username/password so I can show him on the phone when I see him. I'm guessing he might be having a conflict with her, and she is insisting that's she doing all of this. Or perhaps I'm off, but have never heard of a fee being charged with those parameters (I have never been charged a fee when I send money like that, nor have the 10+ people that are normally in some of the pools we have done). Anyone know a reason they would be being charged?

P.S. I abbreviated the website as apparently it's not allowed on this site

I believe you are spot on and they must be doing something incorrectly. If you use “sending to a friend or family” and it comes directly from your bank account there are no fees, unless it’s an international payment.

Thanks Erock. And no, it's not international.

****** is a sorry outfit. I used them for years buying and selling online, especially at Ebay. I was done with them when about 10 years ago they held $500 of my money from sales I made on Ebay. I bought a huge pallet full of VCR's from a school auction for $25, sold them on Ebay and sales were good. I supposedely tripped some kind of an algorithym and they told me they were gonna hold my funds. I got them back 6 months from the day they with held them. ****** is not a banking institution, and not bound by banking laws and can basically do almost anything they want to do. I will never use those sorry fuckers again.

Sorry to hear that. I'm never had any problem with them on basic transactions like what I'm talking about.
