Hi,my compatriots, first, happy spring festival to you all.
I got a question here and wish you can help me. Have you received pay from paypal? I have once received a pay of 5 dollars through paypal. As we all know, payapy will charge us a fee even when we receive a pay. It is like 3.4%+0.3dollar per time. So my question is if we are going to receive a pay of a small amount, then it will mean almost half of the pay will be deducted for the charge? Right? I ask this question because i have joined some other sites, those sites will pay once you have reached a small amount of money,like 0.5 dollar. Have you got much knowledge about the paypal? And another question is how do you take the money out of paypal, will it need lots of efforts?
Thanks a lot. And i am looking forward to your kindly responses.

when you mentioned chinese, you mean from china? Anyway, I am asian and I got paid before. The amount that was paid was the amount shown in paypal. I suppose paypal may charge if i withdraw it. I am not sure if paypal charge when we receive.
Is yours an individual or business account?

Hi,friend,i ask that because i think paypal is a little discriminate to chinese citizens(this is said by lots of chinese). So i think its policy is different in different parts of the world. For example, it has maken it clear in its website to draw cash from paypal, chinese need to pay 35 dollars fee pre time, which is not inculding extra fees the chinese banks will charge in the process.
Yes,it do charge when i receive. because i once receive a pay of 5 dollars from a task creator, and paypal charge me 0.5 dollar when i receive it. So my account got only 4.5 dollars.

aprilsong,
Compliments of the season here, too.
I just caught your post so I hope that you've had a good break with your family during the festive break. As to your query, there's not much you can really do other than open an overseas bank account like Singapore or Hong Kong where the charges will be less exorbitant for low amounts or painstakingly accumulate to an optimum amount where the charges will just seem negligible to you.
The other way I can think of is to use the amount to shop online which would be accept Paypal as a payment medium. Hope this would be informative enough for you.

apparently so far i've never reached that stage to receive any payments but i think there's maybe some charge we gotta accept when receiving payments,not only when it comes to paypal i guess ,but given you have finished once from there i sippose there's nothing to worry about.
