Pricing Issues Reported by Users
International fees add 4.49% plus currency conversion markup
International payments cost 4.49% + fixed fee, plus 1.5% cross-border fee. Currency conversion adds 3-4% margin on top of wholesale rates. A typical international transaction can cost 6-8% total. Fees described as 'a second tax' by users.
PayPal Credit has predatory interest rates
PayPal Credit practices described as 'outright predatory and completely unacceptable.' Interest rates are 'abusive' and payment allocation 'intentionally designed to squeeze every penny.' Misleading promotional periods trap users.
Dispute fees up to $30 for high-volume merchants
Standard dispute fee is $15 per dispute. If dispute rate exceeds 1.5% over three months with 100+ transactions, fee increases to $30 per dispute. Combined with seller protection gaps, chargebacks become extremely costly.
