Hi @marianarlt, and thanks for your reply.
My apologies, but your affirmation, I quote: “Paypal charges a comission on any transaction made to your account.” is not entirely correct.
Paypal in the European Union Area (EU) does not charge commissions if:
- Transactions are in personal order;
- Payments of goods and services.
But it charges commission if:
- Transactions from commercial order;
- International Transactions.
And, it is this last item that I think is the main issue for the (high) fees charged by Paypal.
From what I could check, “hive01 GmbH” which is the current owner of both “Opendesktop.org” and “Pling” is headquartered in Germany, but transactions are made in North America ( if not, please correct me ). And for me that means, pay international fees!
Well, for me and my European compatriots, it is bad news because, if there is no will to change this system, by the entities that manages the companies above, we will continue to pay those commissions.
The "Suspicious " thing!
English its not my native language ( but I’m improving it everyday ), and on the translation process can sometimes change the original meaning on my native language.
That being said, then what do I mean by suspicious?
Well, its the lack of an answer, and even today as you can aware, there’s no “official” reply from them. And, it’s not the only issue that I posted that hasn’t a reply.
I’m not sayind that @opendesktop team is suspcious, the lack of an answer, is. At least, I can thought that way.
But, I think they are improving. Yesterday, I posted an issue, and for my admiration a few hours later there was an reply.
Once more, my sincere thanks for your reply.
