I have heard there is a charge to receive your online earnings payments. Many people on here have said paypal takes off a certain amount so you don't get your full payment.
I have never been charged by paypal, I always receive my full payments. What about you guys?

honeslty I've never been charges. And I've been working online since late 2008 early 2009 I believe. I always get what i'm expecting. maybe its company who pay the fees. IDK just hope i'm not speaking too soon.

Never? I've heard it a lot especially from mylotters.. Someone here told me if I earn 10 dollars then I should expect to get 8 dollars because of paypals charges. 
I wasn't so happy about that.. But now that I've actually started earning online, I've never been charged.

I am charged when I receive payments, but I have an account to sell on eBay so that's probably why I get charged.

Paypal will charge only when the sum withdraw is too small.
That is why I always wait until I can withdraw a certain amount before I request for transfer to my bank account.
Even though the charge is small, I dont like the idea of letting Paypal take a portion of my online earnings.

Yea I read about that too. For my account if I withdraw less than $150 they charge me 50 cents, which isn't too bad. But any withdrawals over $150 are free.

Yup they do get a really small fee from your transactions through them because that's how they get to earn money to maintain their services and website. =) But from what I've noticed, whenever I make some transactions from a person who is living in the same country as mine, Paypal doesn't deduct anything from it, cause I usually send it through personal payment option.

Really.. May I ask what country you live in?
They've never deducted anything from what I receive. And I have made transactions with people outside my country and was never charged for that either.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I'm from the Philippines. And usually, when my clients pay me through Paypal, there's always a small deduction Paypal takes. Like for a $100, they take away close to $5. I believe that was stated by PayPal somewhere on their terms. But if you are actually the sender, there's an option where you can choose if you'd like to pay for the extra fees. And maybe that's why you still get your money in full without any deduction, cause the sender already took care of the extras. Anyway, whenever I send money to someone living here, there aren't any additional fees or deductions. =)

I stay in India and for every payment received money is deducted. for example, around $4 for every $100. so if I receive 400 then I have to forgo $16! more money more are the charges. So many Indians are now seeing for other payment options. Do not know about other online money transfers....

Well.. there is Alertpay. But most websites accept Paypal, Alertpay isn't as popular.

I don't be charged from Paypal when I receive money from my online jobs. Paypal is a wonderful way to receive money.

Yes,paypal has a fees for sending money:3.4%+0.30.Maybe you receive full earnings coz admin choose to pay fees(for personal payment,the fees is small,$0.01/$1 sent)

I really don't know why.. Maybe because I have a personal account. But on Paypals website it says those accounts do charge too..

I really don't know.. It's weird that some people are charged and some aren't... Hopefully I don't get charged to withdraw.
