To avoid or save on unneccesary / duplicate PayPal fees & charges

As referenced in other posts: Fees on transactions:This fee is calculated= 2.9% of business transaction value + $0.30 per PayPal transaction. Example, you bought an item for US$100. Using PayPal, you would pay US$103 + US$0.30). Whenever money is sent from one PayPal user to another user, that counts as a transaction. For example, when you (personal user PayPal account holder) buy from SUPERBUY (business account holder). Almost every transaction comes with a fee, and this fee applies no matter what kind of PayPal transaction. (Of greatest relevance to will be when we use Paypal to buy and pay for things; be it goods or even services! (Yes! Even services). BUT NOTE: Each time you used Paypal, it is seen as a transaction to PayPal. That is, the term "transaction' refers to "PayPal transaction", not the ubiquitous buying transaction commonly known to you and me; and also taken for granted / assumed by you and me. So if for a business transaction of buying and paying for it, if you used PayPal to pay for it more than once: such as, when additional price adjustments or shipping adjustments etc, you are paying the fee repeatedly. Or if you made purchases for several orders from a platform, if you pay for each order individually, the formula repeats and USD$0.30 repeatedly charged to you. Or if you receive any refunds directly from Paypal, it is seen as a transaction by Paypal. the formula repeats and USD$0.30 repeatedly charged to you. The $0.30 per paypal transaction can really add up to a lot of unnecessary wastages. So, thanks to SUPERBUY: - consolidate your payments (SUPERBUY has this option) - decide whether you want to tick on "Proceed with order if any one item does not have the quantities you want or is out of stock) - consult customer service or indicate in the remark to purchasing agents to find out actual domestic shipping if the seller has poor rating or negative comments (I have encountered many ethically compromised or even unscrupulous sellers who generated 1 shipping fee, then subsequently asked for more (rather more) again. - ask the sellers if you have Ali Wang Wang account; fail.ing which, request customer service for consultation and help. - engage expert service fo more complex purchases - it is a good idea to top up your SUPERBUY account by a larger amount than only for this particular order purchase. As mentioned in other posts: International Payments: This then means that PayPal charges fees when you send/receive payments from a different country. The charges include currency conversion cost (if different currency is used) and the international payment fee (which varies for different currencies). Do not forget if your credit card issuing bank is not in USD, then Paypal will convert based on THEIR exchange rates. please refer to useful post (by ) in this BBS on using your own bank rates*) Legal disclaimer: The above is an amalgamation of many publicly available online sources.
