i think that paypals fees are getting way too high, i mean i had a deposit in my paypal today for thirty-five dollars and it took almost two dollars out of that, because it was from a person, i know that it doesn't take out if its from an established business but what about when we aren't getting money from an established business? does anyone else feel the way that i do and think that paypal should really lower their fees or am i the only way that feels like this and what are some other payment methods...i think that i have heard of e-gold or something like that, do you know any good ways that don't take out such a high fee that a lot of people pay by?

I guess when you are "famous", you can do whatever you wish for. I guess since its customer base has bloomed, it will try to reap off what it has sown. Perhaps if you don't use it unnecessarily you won't be affected so much by its fees. I am still a free user, I only use whatever I have earned online, so I do not have to pay a single cent for its services, besides, I only used it twice to buy stuffs from ebay.

Is your paypal account a business account? They have never charged me a fee for someone sending me money, but I have a personal account. I have heard that they charge business accounts for almost every transaction.
