I think they're anticipating needing a lot of staff time to review them, I hope it will be very big and last a long time.

I figured something like that, but I am receiving not sending.. I wonder if it is the same thing, and if so are they double charging? I think that if there is a fee or charge it should be listed in the conversion page so you are aware of it But thats just me

this didn't work for me. When I clicked consent it thanked me? But others on TO are rating it, so maybe it'll work for some?

same thing happened to me. I clicked consent and it ended.

I looked at the pictures in USA Today and the long view of the launchpad had these steel frame towers with long white tubes sticking up. Do you know what those are?

the 4 steel towers with white rods at the top? It is a lightning protection system to try to protect spacecraft and launcher from lightning strikes.

I agree that they should be more transparent, Paypal does charge you the conversion rate when you convert to USD, it's just not heavily noted.

I sent money frequently to family in America when I lived in the base in DE, and I thought it a bit sleazy of Paypal not to clearly state the fee scheme on the page.

It's pretty standard though, for any international service-Banks, Western Union, Currency Traders all charge 1-4%ish, so in my mind, Paypal is not really "gouging" you. It's just a bit murky what their fee is, unless you read the fine print.

It's the only US cashout for Prolific, and even if other options were allowed, it's still quite a bit cheaper than Chase's fees for me.

I just use the psychological trick of mentally adding it as USD, and then being pleasantly surprised at the 1.25% multiplier.

from a paypal page i found and it might be another country's paypal help page given the misspelling of center

It's very similar from them to us, although I believe it converts on our end using our table. Percent-based+fee.

i found this from 2007 and i imagine modern systems are still very similar given its appearance:

To be completely fair, Trump and Boris Johnson have more effect on your Prolific payout than PayPal-
one of them says something controversial and GBP or USD gain or lose reactively.

You could theoretically time your payout to coincide with their statements, to maximize your profits!

Well, thank goodness for Monday because I haven't felt like doing a doggone thing since. Feeling a bit better now at least. Only made a grand total of like 40 bucks between Tuesday and today. Got the Alexandria qual so that's nice (or I hope that'll be nice).
