Paypal not refunding fees on full refunds

    I have just processed a full refund to a customer whose order failed to arrive and noticed that Paypal now keep their fees when they do this. In the past the complete amount used to be refunded to the customer.

    Presumably I missed the announcement about this. Can anyone tell me when this became the norm?

    Seems like a good reason to finally ditch Paypal particularly as Delcampe now has its own payment system established and the other site now processes in house payments.

    This has been the case for a few months now, I can't recall exactly when. PayPal's argument was that they had to process both the original transaction and the refund therefore there was a cost to them in doing that, which, while it's annoying, is not totally unreasonable, I suppose.

    I don't think Delcampe Pay do either though I have only done a couple of partial refunds here so can't be really sure.

    I'm not ditching PayPal as yet, but I do notice that the percentage of buyers paying by Delcampe Pay has increased significantly in the past while. I would estimate my payments by DPay are about 30% of my total, up from about 10% not so long ago.

    Hi Moonstone, Hi Wycombe1,


    Just for your information, as far as Delcampe Pay is concerned, note that if you process a full refund, the fees that were charged for the use of Delcampe Pay will be cancelled.
    They are not refunded when it comes to a partial refund.


    Have a good day,

    I was interested to read your post. . I had previously resisted using Delcampe Pay because there were distinct disadvantages compared with pp but it seems tat those problems have been resolved.maybe

    I need to keep pp because I trade on several other sites

    Are there any actual advantages in using DelcampePay apart from the obvious one of providing buyers with an alternative Thanks

    Main advantage is that it's cheaper, certainly for larger sales. It's not massive, probably about 5-10% over a range of sales. It all adds up. For small sales, it's more or less about the same, but the difference is noticeable with larger sales. For say £30 sale, DP costs about £0.50 less.

    The Delcampe Pay spiel says withdrawals are free but a note appears at the bottom saying
    "Money withdrawals are not subject to any fees within the European Union.
    However, transfers to countries outside the European Union may be charged bank fees."
    What is the case for a UK mainstream bank?

    Cost is £6, another Brexit benefit!

    I think this depends on the bank concerned and possibly the type of account. My transfers are currently free.

    Thanks so much for the help.

    I ill try and clarify the ban transfer cocs with Marian.

    At present, most of mt sales are denominated in USD and go to my pp business UK account. The only cost of transfer to my local bank in Philippine currency is the exchange rate charge - no additional charge for he bank transfer itself .

    BTW paypal were very helpful in advising on transfer of funds from a UK pp account to a foreign bank a year or so ago, but some of their newer rules are becoming increasingly petty and irksome

    I would like to use DelcampePay of course if there were no obvious disadvantages
