Hello,

Latly, i just had to pay some members Euro to Dollar a fee of 1,99€ with paypal friend option.

I don't remember have ever paid that kind of fees before... For CPU that is worth 3$ or 4$, it is double with this fee !

Can someone tell me if it is new or it depends only on the country ?

Check out the pinned post http://www.cpu-world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30772 for a chart of when not to use the friend option for international payments. Paypal have been gradually rolling it out worldwide.

Oh Ok so it was not because I only had a CH account and not a EU one...
A Phd is really needed to understand their stupid fees system!

It is probably better to use ChipPay for very small transactions.

Sometimes it's less expensive not to use the friend option. Although if I could afford not to use PayPal at all, I surely would with no regret whatsoever.
