I Hate PayPal

Yesterday, I checked my mail and was pleasantly surprised to receive a mail -



In my mind -



It the was first donation I had received through this blog. Thank you to ptc4free[-_AT_-]gmail[-_DOT_-]com for your generous contribution!

10 cents can buy lots of things. For example, a fishball -




Alright. Enough of the lame stuff. To the main point of this post. I was very happy, receiving the first $0.10 of donations. Thus, I logged in to PayPal and checked my updated earnings. Alas, PayPal felt that it was unjustified for me to have $0.10 extra in my funds -


I can’t even but a fishball now. :( Sigh.


The fees of 2.4% + $0.50 SGD to 3.4% + $0.50 SGD should be removed for transactions that are less than $0.50. Or maybe even up to $1.00.

few suggestions for you regarding paypal.

1) don't go for business or premium account unless you have a use of it.

2) the charges are cutted only when transaction is through credit card.

hope this removes or reduces some of your grievances with paypal.

The only problem with that is people would just send other people 10 payments of $0.50 instead of $5 and PayPal would get none of their fees.
