i thought they only charged a F/F fee if using credit card. They charge a fee when using account balance too?

Its weird I am on their site and it says: PayPal balance or a bank account No Fee

It does not say that on my PayPal. You may not be able to see pic well, but it says zero coming from an account and 2.9% from credit

I'm looking at their fees, and it says that the charge is 5% (min .99 max 4.99) if sending money internationally via FF. No charge if domestic (and using a bank account). Are you trying to send money internationally?

It wouldn't surprise me if PayPal did start charging for F&F, too many dishonest people abuse their service.

The thing you have to be careful with is a charge from your CC company for a cash advance. I was recently charged $20.50 for a F&F payment of 20 dollars to the guy who ran my fantasy football league. It's definitely new. I was able to call the CC company and get it reversed, but that kind of thing is hit and miss. I don't have a bank account attached to my PayPal, just a CC, so there isn't a way around it for me (other than not using F&F which I won't be anymore), but should be for anyone who gave PayPal their checking account info. I only use F&F maybe once a year, but I always recall a small PayPal fee, never had a CC fee before.

Are you referring to just about everyone on this site, in the Auctions and BST threads? :D

I've been selling (not on ebay) using f/f to my bank account and have not been being charged.

It also says "goods and services." Buying would be "goods." Just sayin'.
