If I switch to managed payments and a buyer pays through paypal - will I pay fees to paypal & ebay?

[karenpmorley2012]

Does anyone know the answer - if I switch to managed payments and a buyer uses paypal to pay, will I be charged fees by ebay AND the normal paypal fees? I would assume paypal will still want their cut for handling the transaction. Sellers will end up paying twice if this is the case.

No, because the payment won't go to your PayPal account - it will go to Ebay's PayPal account. So Ebay will pay the PayPal fees.

Ebay will then transfer the payment to your Ebay account, and on to your registered bank account from there, minus all Ebay fees.

paypal don't charge buyers for using paypal to pay for items

the payment won't be paid into your paypal account, so you won't be charged for receiving the payment

you will only be charged by ebay

I see - so a buyer can use paypal as a method of payment but the transaction goes to ebay rather than my own paypal account. Was this information available on any of ebay's pages as I searched but couldn't find the answer - did I just miss it?
