Hi Guys,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but since it's Paypal related, hope you guys can advice.
I have a local credit card that is linked to my Paypal account. Then when I do online transaction with local companies (eg. Maxis or local webhosting companies), I used paypal as the option to pay as oppose to paying using directly using the credit card.
I've actually been doing this for 6 months plus now but only today I noticed that in my credit card statement, the amount charged using paypal is higher.
Eg. I made a maxis payment for RM313 using paypal, but in my credit card statement, it shows RM315.80.
I know it's not much, but if I were to use lots of paypal transactions, this might accumulate to larger amount..
Is this normal? Do you guys experience the same thing?
Appreciate if anyone could advice.
Thanks!
Yes it's normal. And it's even higher if you're transferring in other currency rates that requires conversion.

Really appreciate your response. But this would be my first and last time with Paypal. Apparently, my Paypal account is high risk and they decided to close it.
Paypal is quite troublesome nowadays especially for sellers outside of US, not sure if there's any other companies offering service like Paypal.

Just received my fund today in my Maybank.
23rd to 29th ... Quite long due to Holidays
That's great news. But I don't like the conversion from Paypal to local banks especially in usd. They always charge 0.05-0.10 lesser from the current currency rate.
