dan_welshriders Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 hi there im paying for a bike using paypal, for £350, the person i am buying it from doesn't have paypal so im sending it to his friends (thefletch) and i was wondering, there is a surcharge of 2% i think for accepting the transaction (the fletch), its been worked out at about £7 quid, so do i need to make a transaction of £357, so that fletch doesn't get deducted it or will it automatically take the surcharge out of my account and still transfer £350?i hope its clear to you, im confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
