Understanding Transaction Fees
You withdrew $5.00, but only $4.80 landed in your E-wallet or bank account. Did Pinjoy steal $0.20?
No. That is the transaction fee charged by the payment processor.
Who charges fees?
Pinjoy sends the full amount. However, the middlemen take a cut.
PayPal Fees
PayPal often charges a receiving fee for commercial payments.
* Typical Fee: 2% + $0.30.
* Who pays? The receiver (you).
* Note: This varies by country. In some countries, "Friends & Family" transfers are free, but businesses like us cannot use that method.
Gift Cards
- Fee: Usually $0.00.
- If you redeem a $10 Amazon card, you get a code for exactly $10.
We hate fees too, but we have to follow the banking rules!
