Let's have an example, your Customer in UK will remit USD 2000 to you.
By Paypal:
1, Your customer pays 2.5% currency exchange fee from Pound Sterling to USD, that's USD 51 ( USD 2000/0.975)
2, You pay 3.9%+USD0.3 as paypal fee, that's USD 78.3 (Remember, it's 3.9% for payment ourside US/Canada)
3, You pay 2.5% to convert USD to CAD, ( you have to convert it for withdraw) that's USD 1921.7*0.025=USD 48
In sum, your customer pays USD 51 and you pay USD 126.3
That's USD 177 for a USD 2000 transaction.
by Moneybookers:
1, Your UK customer pays 0.8% to change GBP to USD, that's USD 16.
2, Your UK customer pays EUR 0.5 to send the payment. about USD 0.6
3, You receive it for free.
4, You wire the money to your USD account in Canadian Bank! fee: EUR 1.80, about USD 2.20
5, Your bank will charge you some bulks for incoming wire transfer. ( my BMO charges me USD 14, please share the experience of other banks)
Your customers pays USD 17 and you paid USD 16, that's USD 33 in total in a USD 2000 transaction.
Moneybooker does not provide buyer protection, it just help you move the money.
I hope ebay forum moderators won't feel unhappy for my thread, actually i use paypal for most of my transaction and contribute revenue for ebay/paypal everyday.
