What I really dislike about Paypsal is that there is no option to choose who has to pay for the transfer. Paypal is very convienient for both parts, but it is always the receiver who has to pay for the transfer. If you do a wire-transfer with a bank, you can specify who should pay for what, ie. the seller can get the exact amount on his account without paying for the transfer. But wire-transfer is WAAY more expensive than Paypal, so in the end I really think Paypal's fees are appropriate.

(I transferred 30€ to a German account once, the fee from my bank ended at 20€...should have used Paypal...)

A while ago when I didn´t know much about money transfers I went to my bank with a note about whereto and BLZ and Konto when transferring from Belgium to Germany. This costed me 8,5 euro. When I did homebanking on my pc then it costed me 6,25 euro. But when I now use IBAN and BIC it will cost me only the same as when I transfer money to my mother a village away from me ...


Yeah, I also did it from my computer at home...using BIC and IBAN and all that... the problem was, the receivers bank wanted 15€ for accepting money from a Norwegian bank...huh. We're not in the EU you know, so they rip us off as often as they can.
