How much "one-time fee" do I have to pay to be able to use PayPal to send money?

Question

From http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/webhosting/sitebuilder2/paypal/paypal-04.html:

Personal accounts are meant for use by individuals. With a Personal account, you can send and receive money for free, but you cannot receive payments funded by debit or credit cards. (Note: Members located outside the U.S. will pay a one-time fee before they can send money.)

I live outside the United States. Does anyone know how much "one-time fee" I would have to pay to be able to use PayPal to send money?

Answer 1

I found the answer to what you're looking for in the PayPal Help Center.

Refer specifically to the question PayPal - How much do you charge to my card when confirming my debit or credit card?. Quote:

We take the extra step to confirm your card so that we can verify that the card is valid and that you are the card owner.

To confirm your card, we’ll charge $1.95 to it. After the card is confirmed, we’ll refund the amount to your PayPal balance.

Here are amounts for cards in other countries:

• $ 2.45 CAD
• € 1.50 EUR
• 1.00 GBP
• 200 JPY
• 2.00 AUD
• 3.00 NZD
• 3.00 CHF
• 15.00 HKD
• 15.00 SEK
• 12.50 DKK
• 6.50 PLN
• 15.00 NOK
• 400.00 HUF
• 50.00 CZK
• 4.00 BRL
• 10.00 MYR
• 20.00 MXN
• 8.00 ILS
• 100.00 PHP
• 70.00 TWD
• 70.00 THB

If we can’t determine or don’t support your card’s currency, we charge $1.95 USD to the card.

(Refer directly to PayPal for potentially more up-to-date information.)
