♥JcMagpie Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 PayPal fees from the original transaction will not be returned going global from 5th March 2020.

In line with industry practice and according to our updated policy, we will not charge a fee to process refunds, however fees from the original transaction will not be returned.

♥JcMagpie Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Look's like UK sellers will now have to update terms and show notice on shopping cart and payment pages to tell customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥14steve14 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Or as most business will do suck up the costs. I am not too sure that the Consumer Contract Regulations allow for withholding part of a payment, but there may be clause in there somewhere. I know several business that in calculating final selling prices of goods add in a percentage for returns, so this will just get added in to that. Stripe and other payment processors are also doing the same. I also think ebay are doing the same with their fees. Its not their fault the customer cancels or returns products so why should they give their costs back. Luckily I am in a low return business. Got to feel sorry for clothes or shoes sellers.

puddlec Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Amazon do the same, if the order gets cancelled after marking it as dispatched (Amazon takes the money at that time, not at the time of the order), if i recall correctly the seller still has a pay a percentage of the selling fee (not the full amount if it gets cancelled after marking it as dispatched) Phoenix support now at https://phoenixcart.org/forum/ App created for phoenixTinyMCE editor for admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCH_001 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 We now use the capture and authorize process from PayPal as we need to order in large items as required and some times there is a delay which triggers the customer to cancel and ask for a refund. From experience the customer can lodge a PayPal dispute for the withheld amount and as us the seller can not prove the item has been shipped to the customer the dispute will go the customers way and PayPal will refund the held amount. From talking to PayPal they suggest working with the customer to assist them in understanding why the PayPal fee component of the transaction has not been refunded. To date I have only had one customer file a dispute and that was for a whole $4 something WTF, but as said above they won the dispute and PayPal refunded it to them.. Then you may ask why not add the PayPal fee to every order, my reply is our markup is already enough to cover merchant and PayPal fee's but not when a customer cancels.. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥JcMagpie Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Some intresting reading... Statutory Report on the Implementation of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation & and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 The law as it currently stands is an 🐂'The law is an ass' Hopfully it will get reviewed and updated to reflect a more balanced approch. So much is beeing wasted with people simply ordering stuff online and then just sending it back for no good reason other than "Oh I changed my mind!". So much time and enargy is beeing wasted not to mention the road miles in transportation and the mass of crap piling up that is sent to land fill or resold on amazon or ebay 😂. Some common sense need to be applied to the law me thinks... We as sellers are not the problem! it cost us nothing in reality as t's a cost of sales and is tax deductable! In the end it's the consumer and the planet that ends up paying for it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that my card processer and merchant bank are a lot cheaper than PayPal Plus... about 95%, or may be more, of my sales that are returned are eBay sales My store is currently running Phoenix 1.0.3.0 I'm currently working on 1.0.7.2 and hope to get it live before 1.0.8.0 arrives (maybe 🙄 ) I used to have a list of add-ons here but I've found that with the ones that supporters of Phoenix get any other add-ons are not really neccessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherFisher Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 yes almost every payment option is doing the same. Is there any possibility to change this notice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not looked bit I would imagine that its only text so its just a case of finding the file that it is in, and that will generally be in the language file somewhere.
