$20 in 'investigation fees'? can anyone confirm this? I won't use them again if true.
- asddubs 11y agoI once had someone initiate a chargeback over 5 transactions of 10$ they paid via CC. It ended up costing me 100$ because on top of the 10$ they charged back, every transaction also added a 10$ fee for being charged back. So I was scammed, and then had to give paypal 50$ for it on top of that.
- speleding 11y agoAre you sure those were from PayPal? I've been charged those fees, but they were passing on the fees from the credit card company that the payment came from.
- asddubs 11y agoWell, that could be the case. Either way, someone sent me 50$ and I ended up losing those and paying another 50$. That shouldn't really happen when you just have a private paypal account. This wasn't a commercial transaction.

- GolfyMcG 11y agoI haven't gotten 'investigation fees' (or at least not that I've noticed) but I would just not use them anyways for the very reason that they're so much less accessible than stripe.
- ewang1 11y agoThere's a $20 chargeback fee, but that's typically charged to the seller.
- artursapek 11y agoYou should be avoiding them already.
- tehwebguy 11y agoSpent a lot of time working with PayPal, never heard of this. I've also used their dispute process on both sides. Something else happened here, a 2 day dispute process is not a standard PayPal dispute.
- Moru 11y agoIt was not a two day dispute, they just pulled back the money after two days and then I had to wait for a very long time to get the money back.
